The story
The dove had been promoted unexpectedly after a merger between the sky and a mid-tier logistics firm. It adjusted to the new role with the same blank stare it used when avoiding hawks. Colleagues avoided its desk, unsure if it was a joke or a cost-cutting measure. It attended quarterly reviews in silence, nodding only when prompted. Outside, the wind blew through trees unaware that one of their own had opted for synergy over seeds, and now spent its days optimizing flight paths for maximum shareholder value, cooing softly in Excel.
The brief
A white dove perched stiffly on a chrome office chair, wearing a tiny navy blazer and tie, one claw resting on a miniature laptop displaying bar graphs, under harsh fluorescent lights in a bland cubicle with beige walls and a single sad fern.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
