Piece description from the artist
Location: Rattlesnake Lake North Bend, WA 2021
In the heart of Rattlesnake Lake's dry season, nature unveils a striking tableau of petrified Red Cedars and Douglas Firs—like silent witnesses to epochs long past. As the water recedes, a hauntingly beautiful sight emerges—a graveyard of what was once an ancient old-growth forest, hidden beneath the lake's tranquil surface.
This evocative image bears the name 'Lovely Lamented,' a title that mirrors the complex emotions stirred within me each time I gaze upon this extraordinary landscape. While it captivates the eye with its striking beauty, it also serves as a poignant reminder of our sometimes careless stewardship of one of our most precious resources.

Santos "Sanzei" López is a fine art photographer for whom the camera is the culmination of a lifelong visual journey. His artistic practice was ignited in childhood with a simple 35mm film camera, a gift from his mother, who became his first subject and instilled in him the belief that photography could capture profound joy and connection.
This foundation evolved through decades of work as a graphic artist and graffiti writer, disciplines that permanently shaped his eye for composition, bold geometry, and layered texture. In 2015, he made a definitive commitment to photography, channeling this multidisciplinary vision into a focused pursuit of the definitive image.
Sanzei’s work transforms the contrasting landscapes of South Florida’s coasts and the Pacific Northwest into contemplative art. He approaches beaches, cityscapes, and mountain vistas as complex graphic arrangements, seeking the precise interplay of light, shadow, and form that transcends documentation to evoke feeling and narrative. His fine art pieces are featured on leading platforms like TurningArt.
