Piece description from the artist
When I first moved to Fort Lauderdale in the mid-nineties, I often sought solace on this rock, sketching and writing poetry as the world unfolded around me. The art school I attended was just a short walk away, and this humble rock became my after-school sanctuary—a place where creativity and introspection flourished. I later named it Sanctuary in honor of the inspiration it provided.
Twenty years later, I returned to this cherished spot to witness and capture a breathtaking sunrise. These photographs are the result of that moment, a testament to the enduring connection between place, memory, and artistic expression.

San Herman’s artistic journey began in the quiet moments of childhood when the world first revealed itself as a canvas of infinite possibility. Over the years, art has been his constant companion—a profound source of inspiration, growth, and self-discovery.
In 2015, Sanzei made the deliberate choice to immerse himself in the world of photography, a decision that would profoundly shape his creative path. For him, photography is more than a medium; it is a sanctuary, a meditative practice that offers solace and a deeper understanding of the world. It is not merely about making images but about exploring the essence of existence—seizing those fleeting, often unnoticed moments that hold the quiet magic of life.
His camera has become an extension of his being, a tool for personal growth, and a means to express his unique perspective. Each click of the shutter is a step further into the intricate tapestry of his existence, a testament to his ongoing journey of artistic and personal enlightenment.
