So So Sweet (a WhatsApp Forecast)
What does predictive text reveal about a person’s life? Are these the words they use all the time, the ones their phone has memorized? There’s an intense sense of longing in the voice and a desire so strong it erases need. The speaker just wants the other person, no matter the cost.
The piece ends with the line: “You, you are my god”delivered over a slow zoom that leaves the so-called god figure wide open to interpretation. Is it the person being addressed? The camera itself? Or something else, above it all?
A reflection on digital intimacy, power, obsession—and the small, strange traces we leave behind in language.
