The story
Gerald attended the seminar on post-irony to understand if he was participating in it. He concluded that wearing a cardigan while drinking tea in a beige room was the most honest response. He waited for the feeling of sincerity to arrive. It did not. He took another sip of tea and considered the fern. The fern remained silent. Gerald decided this was sufficient. He stayed in the room until the light changed, though it never did. He felt a vague sense of completion that he suspected was another layer of irony, which pleased him in a way he refused to acknowledge.
The brief
A beige aardwolf stands stiffly in a beige room wearing a grey cardigan. It holds a steaming cup of chamomile tea. The lighting is flat and fluorescent. The walls are pale yellow. The aardwolf looks directly at the viewer with a vacant expression. A single potted fern sits in the corner.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
