The story
The barracuda had spent years perfecting its look of mild confusion, a skill honed in coral reefs where nothing ever made sense. Today, however, it was not in the ocean but in a room where the walls refused to ripple and the light did not bend. It waited for a current that would never come, wondering if the silence was a prank or if it had simply forgotten how to swim.
The brief
A single barracuda floats motionless near the center of a stark white gallery wall, its silver body slightly tilted as if questioning the empty space around it, under harsh fluorescent lighting that casts no shadow.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
