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.

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.
