The story
The moth had spent three weeks perfecting its ensemble, convinced that elegance was the only antidote to existential dread. It adjusted its cravat with a foreleg, sighed through its proboscis, and wondered if the mirror judged its wing symmetry as harshly as it judged its life choices. Outside, rain tapped the pane like a hesitant knock. Inside, the moth remained, stylish and woefully aware, waiting for a compliment that would never come.
The brief
A single moth with iridescent teal wings and a tiny silk cravat rests on a mahogany windowsill in a dimly lit Victorian parlor, one antenna slightly bent, gazing at its reflection in a cracked gilt-framed mirror beneath a single shaft of late afternoon light.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
