Piece description from the artist
Location: Rattlesnake Lake – Northbend, WA 2021
In the heart of Rattlesnake Lake's landscape, a striking testament to the past emerges as the dry season unveils this Vestige Ornamental. These weathered remnants old-growth stumps, have persevered through the ages, adorning a surreal terrain.
Seasonally as the water recedes, a submerged graveyard awakens—a solemn reminder of what was once a majestic ancient forest, resting at the lake's bed. The sight of these ornate trees and roots, now 'cut down,' evokes a poignant reflection on humanity's heedlessness with one of our most precious resources. Vestige Ornamental is my interpretation of a captivating and thought-provoking encounter with the enduring beauty of nature's legacy.

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.
