Description

70 unnumbered pages : 34 color illustrations. "The wind here is strong, and many natural landscape forms are shaped by the wind. I tried to record the changes on these islands from my own perspective, to understand the relationship among local people, natural environment, cultural heritage and modern civilization via observing, and to think about how they adjust their social status and lifestyle in the new cultural ecology to keep up with and adapt to the rapidly changing era."--artist's statement. Text in English and Chinese. Designer: Wang Tianyu.Perfect binding, green paper jacket.
