The story
The prinia decided that dryness was a social construct. It stood in the puddle it had made and waited for the ceiling to acknowledge its argument. No one entered the room. The light remained indifferent. After an hour, the bird blinked once, slowly, and considered whether the dampness was inside its feathers or inside its understanding of feathers. It concluded both, then concluded nothing. It remained on the stool until the water evaporated, at which point it decided the experiment had failed and flew into a wall.
The brief
A small brown prinia sits on a grey wooden stool in a bare room. Its feathers are saturated with dark water that pools beneath its feet. Pale grey light falls across the bird's drooping head. Muted browns and greys fill the canvas.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
