Forsaken Sanctuary

from $40.00

Driving through St. Louis, some buildings just stand out. This magnificent 19th-century cathedral was one of them. I could tell something was different, and as we got closer, it was clear a tragedy had occurred.

This is the historic St. Liborius Church, a landmark that once served its community and was later reborn as a one-of-a-kind skatepark and arts center. Now, after a devastating fire, its magnificent brick facade and gothic windows stand open to the sky.

This photograph is an act of documentation and a way to honor its memory. It’s a portrait of a forsaken sanctuary, a story of profound loss, but also a testament to the enduring, beautiful bones of a place that is waiting for the day it might be rebuilt.

A signature piece from the "Ghosts of the Road" chapter of the "Route 66: The Mother Road" collection, this image is a somber tribute to a lost icon.

Print & Medium

This photograph is defined by its dramatic, moody atmosphere and the sheer textural detail of the architecture—the weathered red brick, the aged stone foundation, and the turbulent clouds above the fire-damaged roof.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. Its subtle satin-gloss finish is renowned for rendering incredible detail and a wide dynamic range. It will perfectly capture the textures of the brickwork while giving the dramatic, bright sky a powerful presence, creating a print with both tactile grit and profound depth.

"Forsaken Sanctuary" is available in sizes up to 24x36 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
