POST WINGS

The series "The Root of Prajna" shifts Buddhist art from sacred representations to the everyday lives of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats may appear mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and a rustic watermark woodcut language, they become a site for the contemplation of life. The "prajna" expressed in the work is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but is rooted in the forms of existence of all things, their interdependent relationships, and the continuous labor of the creator.
