The story
The snipe had been told it was moderately infinite, which it accepted without surprise. It had stood in this exact pose for seventeen years, waiting for the light to change or the floor to stop creaking. No one else could see the others behind it — just the same bird, same stance, same dull plumage — but it knew they were there, each one equally unimpressed. It blinked once. The fluorescent tube hummed. Nothing happened. It lifted its foot again, just to feel the wood.
The brief
A single snipe stands motionless on a cracked wooden floor beneath a flickering fluorescent light, its feathers rendered in muted ochre and slate, one leg slightly lifted as if mid-step, the wall behind it stretching into a faint, repeating pattern of identical snipes receding into the distance.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
