The story
The lemur had been told irony was dead, so it stopped trying to be funny. It now sat where it was told to sit, at the time it was told to be there, waiting for something that would not come — not because it was sad, but because it had forgotten what sadness looked like. The clock ticked. It did not blink.
The brief
A single ring-tailed lemur sits upright on a wooden stool in a minimalist white-walled room, staring blankly at a wall clock that reads 3:33, its fur slightly ruffled, the light cool and even, casting no shadows, the colours muted greys and soft ochres.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
