Chinese Traditional Paper-Cut

Typographic interpretation of two poems quoted from the original Zen classic, The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch.

“The poems teach us not to believe all that which exists, not even the reflection of ourselves in a mirror. The caveat is for us to teach ourselves to overcome the rules and boundaries of our existence in order to reach a state of Zen, unfettered by the perceived limitations of life.”
