We addressed Dani in terms of being an artist, but upon further reflection, I believe that this too falls short of the mark. What stands out most about Dani is not any one particular skill, but rather the feeling of undefined space that lingers hopefully in pockets of the mind previously enshrouded in doubt and fear. From these spaces arises a potential previously unpermitted, enchanted by a nature which feels effortlessly in harmony with life. Engaging with Dani’s life or work feels like waking up into the eyes of another wherein the bounds of the self are reinvented into every moment.
Arising beneath the actor, the director, the artist, the student and the curiosity of heart is a nature that is pure and incorruptible. It is a love from which the core hope of all language springs forth and bursts open; creating with it a chance that from the cracks emerging between words, we may stumble a little closer to one another.
Thank you Dani, for continuing to rupture.
