Echo Liu (b. 1996, they/them, formerly Xia Liu) is a queer, nonbinary Chinese-American lens-based artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Working across photography, video, and multimedia, they explore identity and performativity as they intersect with race, gender, and sexuality. Their practice considers how selfhood is constructed and perceived—how the personas we create often mirror our desires, and what that reveals about authenticity and visibility. Grounded in lived experience, their work engages the mediated nature of intimacy and the shifting boundaries of being seen.
Their work has been featured by Refinery29, Polyester Zine, Aether Magazine, Girlgaze, Sukeban Magazine, and Adolescent Content, among others.
