The story
Harold laminated the kite to protect it from rain. He spent three hours smoothing out the bubbles. Once finished, he realized he could no longer fold it. The kite now leans against the table leg, too stiff for the wind and too large for the closet. Harold watches it every afternoon, wondering if the laminate will eventually peel or if he will simply grow accustomed to the silence.
The brief
A diamond-shaped kite rests on a pine table beneath a flickering fluorescent tube. The plastic laminate catches the light in pale yellow streaks, while a thin layer of dust settles on the frame. The walls are painted an institutional grey.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
