The series "The Root of Prajna" shifts Buddhist art from sacred representations to the everyday existence of sentient beings. The depiction of birds, animals, insects, flowers, and their habitats may seem mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the humble language of watermark woodcuts, they become a site for contemplative practice on life. The "Prajna" expressed in the work is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but is rooted in the ways of existence of all beings, their interdependent relationships, and the continuous labor of the creator.
