The story

The coati had decided that dampness was the only honest state of being. It did not move while the water pooled beneath its paws, nor when the clock ticked past three. It simply existed in the grey room, contemplating the viscosity of air and the weight of a single drop falling from its nose. The rug absorbed the evidence in silence, and the light remained pale, refusing to offer any conclusions.

The brief

A wet coati sits motionless on a mahogany chair in a grey-walled room, water dripping from its snout onto a blue rug, under pale yellow light that casts long, still shadows.

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