The story

The accountant decided to preserve the pitta after it flew into the break room and died on the coffee machine. He used the office laminator to seal the bird in plastic, believing this was the most professional way to handle a deceased visitor. Now, the pitta sits permanently on the desk, its vibrant colors trapped beneath a layer of glossy film. Every morning, the accountant wipes a fingerprint off the plastic and wonders if the bird is still warm.

The brief

A small, brightly colored pitta bird sits on a wooden table inside a grey office, encased in a thick sheet of clear plastic laminate. Overhead fluorescent lights reflect off the glossy surface, highlighting the bird's blue and green feathers against the neutral walls.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
