Piece description from the artist
Location: Snoqualmie, WA – 2021
Close to my home, there was a beloved hiking spot I affectionately named "Stump Stack Way" due to the presence of towering, weathered tree stumps that lined its path.
Regrettably, in 2023, this picturesque trail met a somewhat tragic fate. Although this trail still held some charm, the area photographed was no more. Burned, and in some cases turned into wood chips, the old stumps were gone.
In the face of this loss, I take solace in the art I've created, preserving the memory of this once beautiful path. It serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of landscapes and the importance of documenting their essence while they endure.
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.
