The "Root of Prajna (39)" series shifts Buddhist art from sacred forms to the everyday beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, and trees, along with their habitats, appear mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermarked woodcuts, they become a site for the contemplation of life. The "prajna" depicted in the work is not an abstract wisdom that distances itself from life, but rather rooted in the postures of existence of all things, the interdependent relationships, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
