The series "Roots of Prajna" shifts Buddhist art from sacred symbols to the everyday existence of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats appear mundane and ordinary, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermark woodcut, they become a site for reflecting on life. The "prajna" conveyed by the work is not an abstract wisdom that distances itself from life, but is rooted in the modes of existence of all beings, the interdependent relationships, and the continuous labor imprinted by the creator.
