Xapa Lit

Chi Ma Wan
Creator
Xapa Lit (b. 1999, Hong Kong) is a ceramicist and founder of the sustainable ceramics studio TOCHI LAB. Deeply personal themes like intimacy and self-identity sit at the heart of her exploration. Drawn to the connections among people, objects, and place, Lit approaches clay as a medium that carries story and lived experience. Her work often revolves around personal narrative, environmental change, and the evolution of materials.
In recent years, Lit's practice has gradually extended into research on sustainability and circular materials. Through TOCHI LAB and the Ceramics Cycle initiative, she actively explores the potential of ceramic waste as a creative resource, transforming discarded materials into new forms. Her work has taken her across Asia and Europe; the cultural and environmental experiences she's gathered along the way have broadened her creative horizons and inspired her to bring global environmental and social issues into her ceramic practice.
