The story
The dolphin had been promoted to Head of Temporal Compliance after three consecutive years of arriving exactly 0.02 seconds before the official start time. Its colleagues, though baffled by its aquatic respiration in a carpeted cubicle, never questioned its punctuality — until today, when the dolphin paused mid-sip of lukewarm chamomile tea, stared at the wall, and whispered, 'I think I’m late.' The clock had not moved. No one dared to correct it.
The brief
A dolphin stands upright on its tail in a minimalist office, wearing a slightly crooked tie and holding a pocket watch, under flat fluorescent light that casts no shadows, with beige walls and a digital clock showing 9:00 AM.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
