To Fit Inside Your Gaze The use of the scanner, a device typically meant for digitizing documents and standardizing information, becomes a critical element in Fit Inside Your Gaze. Instead of capturing fixed, orderly data, the scanner distorts and reshapes the body, transforming it into something unfamiliar. This subversion of the scanner’s function reflects the tension between individuality and imposed categorization—how systems meant to document and define can also constrain and erase nuance. The scanner’s high-resolution process, which is usually used to capture the smallest details of text and images with precision, now magnifies the skin, emphasizing every pore, wrinkle, and imperfection. This hyper-awareness of the body creates a paradox of intimacy and alienation while the images bring the viewer closer to the subject, they also fragment and dehumanize it, reducing the body to an object of examination. By forcing the human form into the rigid frame of a machine designed for standardization, Fit Inside Your Gaze questions what happens when identity is subjected to the flattening gaze of societal structures, surveillance, and external expectations. It highlights the discomfort of trying to fit into predefined spaces, both literally and metaphorically, asking: How does one retain their sense of self when forced into systems that do not accommodate them?
