The series "The Root of Wisdom" shifts Buddhist art from sacred representations to the everyday lives of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flora, and their habitats may appear secular and ordinary, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermarked woodcuts, they become the site for contemplation on life. The "wisdom" referred to in the work is not an abstract knowledge detached from life, but is rooted in the existence of all beings, their interdependent relationships, and the continuous labor of the creator.
