In With as Many Bodies as There Are Atoms in the Realms, fine script runs through a blue circle on linen. The text comes from the Avataṃsaka Sūtra and Samantabhadra's Practices and Vows.
Tsai painted and wrote with lapis lazuli and other mineral pigments, watercolor and ink, so that repeated inscription and painted mineral matter occupy the same surface.
