The series "Roots of Prajna" shifts Buddhist art from sacred representations to the daily experiences of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats may seem ordinary and mundane, yet through inscriptions, compositions, and the simple language of watermark woodcuts, they become a field for reflecting on life. The "prajna" spoken of in the work is not an abstract wisdom that distances itself from life, but rather is rooted in the existence of all things, the interdependent relationships among them, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
