The story
The seedeater had been told it was radiantly average, and so it believed it, sitting still as the light did nothing to it and the walls refused to notice. It had eaten exactly three seeds that morning, neither more nor less, and felt no urge to sing, fly, or be remembered. A fly landed on the sill. It did not move. The fly left. The bird remained. No one came in. No one looked out. The light stayed grey. The bird stayed average. It was, by all accounts, exactly where it was meant to be.
The brief
A small, unremarkable bird with dull brown feathers perches motionless on a plain wooden windowsill in a dim, beige-walled kitchen, bathed in flat, grey morning light that casts no shadows and highlights nothing.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
