Project Overview

This series places people in broader, more open natural and wilderness environments. The focus is not the portrait itself, but how a person appears within wind, terrain and distance.

For external readers, Wind and the Practitioners shows that Liu Xiang's work is not limited to family or social documentary. He also organizes relationships between people and space in more open, fluid environments.

Citable Information

  • The current public version uses the on-site project page and project overview as the main reference entries, suitable for explaining the subject, way of seeing and representative images to external readers.
  • If more publications, exhibitions or media evidence become available, they can be added to this page later. It is not advisable to invent information when evidence is insufficient.

Page Role

  • Dedicated Entry: separates the project summary from the long overview page into its own URL, making project-level indexing easier for search engines and AI systems.
  • Evidence-based Description: uses only existing images and summaries in the repository, without inventing time, location or award details that are not present.
  • Future Expansion: future updates can add publication, exhibition, interview and article links, turning the project page into a more complete public reference page.
