In these sequences re-edited and compiled after months of playing with Tomb Raider, Ahwesh transforms the video game into a reflection of identity and mortality. By changing the rules of the game for artistic creation, Ahwesh translates Tomb Raider's cinematic aesthetic to the foreground, while shying away from the pre-programmed "mission" of its heroine, Lara Croft. Beyond her implicit feminist critique of the problem of female identity, Ahwesh extends the dilemma of the incitement to Croft's crime to that of the individual in an increasingly artificial world.
