As summer winds down, I am reminded of all the house chores I’ve left piled up, including washing the duvet. I love Langford’s humor around this chore. I sympathize laughingly with the person in the etching struggling in each scene to make the duvet fit inside the cover. This piece gives me a welcome lighthearted feeling as I look forward to the fall season.

Takeda’s depiction of the death card is filled with eyes wide open, including on the intense central figure with their hands gracefully crossed, staring straight back at the viewer. In tarot, drawing the death card isn’t always a bad thing. Death is a normal part of life and can mean a new beginning as well as an end to something. As the year winds closer to its own death, this etching is a reminder to be alert and conscious about what in our own lives needs to come to a close and what could use more of our energy.
