The Absent Artist

A prominent artist in the middle of creating their masterpiece abruptly vanishes.

This prompt requires you to fabricate a plot about how the community, the artist’s family, and the art world respond to the dissapearance. What clues did they leave behind in their work? Is there significance in the unfinished nature of their masterpiece? The narrative could pivot around themes of obsession, the pressure of creativity, the nature of art, and the often blurry line between madness and genius.
