The "Roots of Prajna" series shifts Buddhist art from sacred forms to the everyday lives of beings. The birds, animals, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats may seem secular and ordinary, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermarked woodcuts, they become a site for contemplating life. The "prajna" spoken of in the work is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but rather it takes root in the gestures of existence of all things, the interdependent relationships among them, and the continuous labor of the creator.
