{"title":"Echoes by Danny Gordo","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe live within an atmosphere of distraction so constant that it begins to feel natural. Attention is siphoned quietly, an inch at a time, until distraction seeps into what should be sacred and the sacred learns to perform instead of simply exist. We reach for the phantasm and call it the Form, mistaking the shadow for the thing casting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEchoes is a meditation on what happens when presence gives way to performance, and the most intimate parts of human experience begin to take their shape from forces outside us. The series inhabits the distance between what is genuine and what merely resembles it, asking how much of our inner lives remains our own when we are no longer fully present within them.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-shape-of-enough","title":"The Shape of Enough","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitle: The Shape of Enough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist: Danny \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGordo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium: oil on aluminum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 40 x 30 inch (76.2 x 101.6 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"18\" data-end=\"148\"\u003eArtist Statement:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"18\" data-end=\"148\"\u003eVery few of us decide for ourselves what makes us worthy of love.
