This work is created using a flatbed scanner. The body is placed directly onto the glass surface, moving in synchronization with the scanning line. Unlike traditional photography, the scanner unfolds the body through time, recording contact, pressure, and duration rather than a single, frozen moment.

In this process, I attempt to assemble a cohesive image. By shifting and rotating my face and body, I try to capture multiple perspectives simultaneously—as if creating a blueprint or an architectural plan of the self. Yet, this is not an attempt at idealization, but a drive toward wholeness. The process inevitably fails. Movement disrupts the alignment, time distorts the form, and the body spills beyond the frame.

The work stems from a personal experience where integrity felt precarious and difficult to maintain. Rather than depicting myself, I treat my body as raw material. The scanner records not a portrait, but the process of assembly and collapse—repetition, effort, and physical limitation.

What becomes visible is not a finished image, but a trace of contact: a perpetual attempt to organize the self into a unified structure that remains eternally incomplete. This project explores the conflict between the constant drive for wholeness and the impossibility of being fully assembled into a stable image. Scanning here functions not as a tool of representation, but as an act of documenting the resistance to representation.

Identity unfolds not as an image, but as the residue of constant destruction and unfulfilled longing. Conceived as an evolving, open structure, the work is currently in progress within the field of performative photography—where the photograph serves as a document of action rather than a finalized result.
