The story
The whydah had been moderately infinite for exactly seventeen minutes when the curator entered, checked his watch, and noted the duration in a leather-bound log. No one had seen it move. No one expected it to. The bird’s infinity was not in size, but in the quiet persistence of its tail’s implied extension—a fact the institution had certified after three peer reviews and a failed attempt to measure it with a laser tape. It was, they agreed, moderately infinite. That was enough.
The brief
A single moderately infinite whydah floats motionless in a featureless white room under flat, shadowless light, its elongated tail feathers receding into a subtle vanishing point that suggests continuation without end, rendered in muted sepia and dove grey with no discernible texture or background detail.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
