Jilin Wang is a ceramic artist and visual storyteller based in London. She is currently pursuing an MA in Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art.
Her practice centers on the fragile and often overlooked states of natural life—wilted petals, decaying leaves, sprouting fragments. Working with mixed clay bodies, she captures quiet moments of transformation and decline with subtle precision.
Jilin’s work contemplates impermanence, memento mori, and the beauty found in the nonideal. She is drawn to the poetic tension between collapse and growth, silence and persistence. Through ceramics, she gives form to transience—not to preserve it, but to feel it, and then to let it go.
She is currently developing an ongoing body of work reflecting on the quiet agency of plants, the aesthetics of decay, and the emotional landscapes shaped by time, memory, and loss.
