.Eternal Gaze
The work and life story of Alberto Giacometti had a huge impact on me when writing and re-writing the book, so I was happy to watch this short animated film by Sam Chen.

I stumbled on him when reading a New Yorker piece by John Updike (RIP). I don’t remember much about the article but I remember the first time looking at his sculptures. I’m not sure when exactly they worked their way into the story, but they had an especially big impact on my conceptualization of Sarah and Monday, the psychotic artist mother.
