There are paintings that reveal truth.
And there are paintings that remember it.
When restoration artist Nell Ashwale is hired to repair a damaged portrait, she expects cracks, age, and careful, methodical work. What she finds instead is something buried beneath the surface-another image, hidden with intention.
As the layers come away, the woman in the painting begins to feel less like a subject and more like a presence. Familiar. Watching. Waiting.
The deeper Nell goes, the more the boundary between artist and subject begins to blur. The face beneath the paint is not just another version of the portrait.
It's hers.
Drawn into a quiet, consuming unraveling, Nell must confront a truth that refuses to stay hidden: some works of art are not meant to be restored.
They are meant to be completed.
OBSESSED! is a slow-burning psychological descent into identity, memory, and the dangerous intimacy between creator and creation-where recognition becomes transformation, and the line between self and subject disappears.
