The "Root of Prajna" series shifts Buddhist art from sacred forms to the everyday experiences of sentient beings. The birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats may seem mundane, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the simple language of watermark woodcuts, they become a practice space for reflecting on life. The "prajna" spoken of in the work is not an abstract wisdom that is detached from life, but rather a root that grows from the existence of all things, their interdependent relationships, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
