Lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan.

Efen Lin is a sculptor based between Taiwan and Japan, working primarily with clay. Her practice explores the relationship between human existence, nature, and the spiritual resonance of the earth.

Her practice is rooted in the belief that soil carries memory, time, and traces of life. Through organic forms that move between figuration and landscape, she seeks to express the invisible qualities of nature — including poetry, emotion, stillness, and spirituality.

For Lin, clay is not simply a material, but a medium through which she enters into dialogue with the world. Her works often reflect cycles of transformation, coexistence, and the interconnectedness between self, land, and living beings.

Lin has exhibited widely in Taiwan and Japan, including exhibitions at Yingge Ceramics Museum, mina perhonen Kyoto and Tokyo, and ART TAIPEI.
