The "Roots of Prajna" series shifts Buddhist art from sacred appearances to the everyday lives of beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and habitats may seem secular and ordinary, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the humble language of watermark woodcutting, they become a field for the contemplation of life. The "prajna" spoken of in the works is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but is rooted in the postures of all living things, their interdependent relationships, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
