The series "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 seem mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermarked woodcuts, they become a site for the practice of observing life. The "prajna" referred to in the work is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but is rooted in the postures of existence of all beings, the interdependent relationships among them, and the continuous labor of the creator.
