The story
The porpoise had once leapt through waves with the pod, but now it drifted in the quiet of a rented apartment, remembering the salt on its skin and the way the light fractured underwater. It did not sigh, for porpoises do not sigh, but its eye lingered on the photo — a relic from a vacation it never took, bought at a thrift store because the colors reminded it of something it could no longer name. The cat watched from the armchair, unimpressed.
The brief
A single porpoise floats motionless in a sunlit suburban living room, its sleek gray body arched in a gentle curve as it gazes wistfully at a faded photograph of a coral reef taped to the wall above a beige sofa, dust motes drifting in the slanted afternoon light.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
