Since 2015, Liu Yujia has ventured into the heart of Xinjiang, witnessing the melting of millennia-old glaciers, riverbeds desiccated by a shifting climate, the ruins of ancient civilizations buried beneath desert sand, and fractured landscapes left by the overextraction of resources. The film interweaves two extractive narratives that span past and present: the archaeologist Aurel Stein's early-twentieth-century expeditions through the Kunlun Mountains and the Hotan region, and contemporary footage of local ethnic minorities digging for jade in the bed of the Yurungkash River. These two acts of "reaching into the depths of the earth" mirror one another, while "wind and sand"—a romantic medium—thread the distant past to the present.

The English-language voiceover that runs through the film is fictionalized as the voice of Stein, weaving together writings by Stein himself, the geographer Sven Hedin, and the artist. It is not a documentary reconstruction of history, but stitches the present and the distant past into one through a shared embodied experience.

自 2015 年起，刘雨佳深入新疆腹地，目睹万年冰川的消融、气候变迁中干涸的河床、被沙漠掩埋的文明遗址，以及资源过度开采留下的破碎地貌。影片交织两条跨越古今的采掘叙事：20 世纪初，考古学家奥雷尔·斯坦因（Aurel Stein）在昆仑山与和田一带的考察；以及当下，当地少数民族在玉龙喀什河河床中挖玉的影像。这两种"向地球深处探寻"的行为彼此映照，而"风与沙"这一浪漫的介质则勾连起了遥远的过去与当下。

贯穿全片的英文旁白被虚构为斯坦因之声，文本糅合了斯坦因本人、地理学家斯文·赫定（Sven Hedin）与艺术家自己的写作。它并非对历史的纪实还原，而是借由共通的具身经验，将当下与遥远的过去缝合为一体。

自这部作品起，艺术家将边疆的风景视为一个个时空的漩涡——它们既将我们卷入历史深处，亦勾连起此刻的现实与对未来的想象。
