The Chinese word for folding screen, 屏風, translates literally to “block wind.” Here, the screen acts instead as a changing room for the wind to dwell, undress, sing, and pass through. Each post of the screen is an aeolian harp, an instrument that resonates in breezes due to the vibration of its strings.
