The story
The lobster had been invited to the gala by mistake — a clerical error in the marine RSVP system — and now, frozen beneath the glare of the chandelier, it wondered if the pearls were real or if anyone would notice it hadn’t blinked in seventeen minutes. The orchestra had left. The champagne fountains had run dry. Yet still, it held its pose, terrified that if it moved, the illusion of belonging would shatter, and the staff would finally come to escort it back to the tank, where no one wore tuxedos, and everyone judged you by the symmetry of your tail.
The brief
A large, ornately dressed lobster in a tuxedo and pearl necklace stands rigidly under a single spotlight in an empty, gilt-framed ballroom, its claws clasped nervously before it as chandeliers cast a cold, silver glow over faded burgundy wallpaper.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
