Piece description from the artist
Location: Rattlesnake Lake, WA – 2023
While searching for a simple composition, I spotted a lone tree illuminated on the far side of the lake. Though it was too distant to serve as my main subject, it aligned perfectly with a cluster of stumps in the foreground, creating what appeared to be a prehistoric platform within the lake. Intriguingly, I witnessed several individuals diving from this naturally massive structure. I named this imposing formation Tetra Sole, a quartet formed long ago into one unified relic.
To achieve a serene effect on the lake's surface, I opted for an 8-second exposure. I then adjusted the contrast to highlight our main subjects, aiming to accentuate the intricate grain patterns of the ancient, petrified stumps.
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.
