The story

The kaka promised to water the plants every Tuesday. It did so for three weeks, then stopped entirely. It claimed the watering can was missing, though it sat plainly on the counter. The owner stopped asking. The bird now spends its afternoons watching the clock, waiting for a reliability that never arrives.

The brief

A brown kaka sits on a wooden perch in a dim room with beige walls. One wing is raised mid-gesture while the bird stares at a small brass clock on a side table. The light is grey and flat, casting soft shadows across a faded green rug.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
