A Kind of Testament

A young woman comes across animations on the Internet that have clearly been created from her private selfies. A stranger with the same name confesses to identity theft. But death is quicker than the answer to the question: “Why?”

When a young woman stumbles upon some animations that resemble her own selfies on the web, she tries to establish their source and their meaning. With some of the imagery quite surreal, painful looking and disturbing she begins to wonder if these are as random as she initially thought, or might they even be portentous - in a Voldemort style? I found the striking drawings often quite unnerving, especially the flies and the heavily-lined facial features and the rapid-fire scenarios ask some fairly serious questions that invite responses both considered and comical, too. It’s also quite an interesting critique on the rabbit-hole that is the internet and with a fairly tone-deaf impersonation of Terry Jacks impersonation to conclude, it’s quietly provocative.
