📖 Reading Companion: All The Beauty In The World

All the Beauty in the World was one of the most powerful reads of my 2025. This sad and heartwarming story resonated deeply with me. I visited the MET for the first time in the summer of 2024 and was utterly mesmerized — reading Bringley's reflections was like revisiting that awe, and it polished my soul.

I, too, was longing to stand still — to find stillness in a chaotic life. I turned this book into a form of meditation: collecting all the artworks, tracking down their licenses, and compiling them into this companion. It helped me process not just the book, but also a personal loss — the end of a relationship I still cherish deeply. While it doesn't compare to losing a brother or guarding galleries for a decade, this project offered me peace and hope.

If you decide to read this book (highly recommended), I hope this companion helps you pause, reflect, and maybe even dream again.
