The story
Every third Tuesday, the tarsier arrives precisely at 4:15 p.m. to deliver a three-sentence sermon on the virtues of quietude and proper insect consumption, then departs without waiting for questions. The congregation, consisting of two houseplants and a dusty radiator, listens with varying degrees of attentiveness. Today, as always, the candle flickers just as he finishes speaking—never before, never after—leaving the room in temporary darkness before the bulb buzzes back to life.
The brief
A small tarsier in a modest robe stands on a wooden stool in a dimly lit room, holding a single candle that casts a soft glow on its wide eyes, while faded religious symbols hang crookedly on the beige walls and a half-eaten banana rests on the floor nearby.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
