POST WINGS

The "Root of Prajna" series transforms Buddhist art from sacred representations to the everyday existence of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats appear to be mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watercolor woodcuts, they become a space for reflection on life. The "prajna" spoken of in the work is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but rather rooted in the postures of all living things, the interdependent relationships between them, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
