Kissy Cup (2025)
Mid-Fire Ceramics
In Kissy Cup (2025), Xu reimagines the travel mug by reshaping its drinking port into puckered lips. To drink, the user must press their mouth to the lips, turning a casual act into one charged with intimacy. The work raises questions of consent, highlighting how the drinker actively brings the lips to their own.
