Sanctum Sanctorum

The phrase "sanctum sanctorum" is Latin and is generally translated to mean "Holy of Holies". Alternative translations can also include "the holy place of holy things" and "the most holy [place/thing]".

A very private or highly secret place or area of activity.

Where is your sanctum sanctorum?

Where is your sacred space? That space where you are most at peace. Is it in the mountains or paddling out in the ocean? Or is it tucked away at home?

Where do you go to my lovely...

I always aim to create work that has a deep meaning for me. In doing so, I hope with all my heart that it will hold deep meaning for you, dear viewer. That meaning may vary greatly from my thoughts and intentions, or it may be very similar. It is why I love sharing my work with you all and finding those connections through expression...

More often than not, there is also a hidden personal meaning to my work. Typically I keep that meaning private and very close to my heart. In this case though I am guessing the sign makes the meaning pretty clear, so perhaps the hidden meaning in this image is not so hidden.

Before and after...

I hope you enjoy this short before and after progression video. As per usual, if you have any questions (about my process, the editing, or anything really), then please send me a message and I will assist.

Yes, the sign used in this image is real! It used to belong to my brother and sadly I do not know where he found it. But he probably salvaged it from the ocean or blown about by the wind. It hangs in my home as a décor piece that I have always felt made a powerful statement. Pictured hanging with my piece "The Science Experiment".
