About the book…
Woman in the Jar is an intimate, unsettling psychological drama that blurs the lines between art, science, and desire. Told through the alternating perspectives of Kim, a vibrant yet troubled artist, and Dr. Ashley Hasina, a brilliant neuroscientist, the story explores the intoxicating and dangerous relationship between subject and observer.
For Kim, life is a kaleidoscope of paint, chaos, and emotion—yet beneath the colors lies a deep paranoia that she is being studied, contained, like a specimen in a jar. Ashley’s clinical gaze and secretive research only intensify this feeling. What begins as an observational study on creativity slowly transforms into a charged interplay of fascination, manipulation, and blurred boundaries, where seduction becomes a tool and trust a weapon.
As the relationship deepens, so does the tension—both psychological and physical. Kim’s art grows darker, reflecting her turmoil, while Ashley’s methods push the limits of ethics in pursuit of understanding the unique patterns of Kim’s mind. The “jar” becomes both a metaphor for control and a tangible threat, as Kim grapples with whether she is the subject of groundbreaking science, a victim of obsession, or an active participant in a dangerous emotional experiment.
Layered with ambiguity, sensuality, and psychological suspense, Woman in the Jar invites readers to question the nature of perception, the cost of intimacy, and the fine line between connection and control. In the end, the truth remains elusive—trapped, perhaps, in the jar with Kim herself.
