The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / かぐや姫の物語 (2013)
i have cried every single time i have watched this film, and i think as i get older i'll find new moments and ways to do so!! it is impeccably made and incredibly tender. immense care was clearly put into capturing the minutiae of life, the weight of gestures, the movement of wind, etc. this all makes the emotional weight of thing that much more brutal!! growing up is hard, watching someone grow up is hard, being alive is hard!! but its so beautiful. yet its so painful that is it always both. (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)･｡

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
There’s a scene in this where the animation breaks with the emotion of the character and it takes my breath away every time.

Anders Zorn - Peeling potatoes (1916)
Anders Zorn is beloved for good reason. His work was so skillfully made. Zorn's sense of form in particular is really lovely (and often on display because he loved a nude). I've seen some of his work irl, but not this piece. Zorn's paintings have a lot of presence in person, so I imagine this one is even more cozy and lively when seen in the flesh. I love the diagonal composition and the use of light, as well as her cute cheeks and socks ♡
