The "Root of Prajna" series transforms Buddhist art from sacred forms to the everyday existence of sentient beings. Birds, beasts, insects, flowers, trees, and their habitats appear commonplace and secular, yet through inscriptions, composition, and the rustic language of watermarked woodcuts, they become a site for the practice of contemplating life. The "prajna" spoken of in the works is not an abstract wisdom detached from life, but rather it is rooted in the posture of all beings existing, their interdependent relationships, and the ongoing labor of the creator.
