What if art were a doorway? What if consciousness could slip between realities? THE ARTIST INSTANCE follows Anela Foster, a painter in upstate New York, and Elysia Harrington, an artist in Manhattan. Their paintings—precise, mathematical, haunting—begin to reveal something impossible: that consciousness is not bound to a single dimension, and that connection can exist across boundaries we thought were fixed. This is philosophical science fiction that asks fundamental questions about existence, identity, and what it means to truly see another person. Through recursive chapters and dreamlike progressions, the novel explores whether reality is predetermined or if consciousness itself can reshape what is possible. Blending intimate human drama with cosmic mystery, THE ARTIST INSTANCE is for readers who love thoughtful, atmospheric science fiction. For those drawn to works by Ted Chiang, N.K. Jemisin, and Yoko Ogawa. For anyone who has ever felt that art recognizes something inside them they cannot name. This is the first book in a series exploring consciousness, dimensional boundaries, and the profound connections that can exist between two people who truly understand each other. A novel about being seen. About art that haunts. About the courage to believe in impossible connections. $2.99 on Kindle.
