She stands in the same visual field as an entire Earth, but the scale isn’t reconciled. It’s irrational, impossible. That mismatch becomes the point. Her body registers vulnerability in the face of something too large to grasp. Small Against the Infinite shifts the crisis from the personal to the planetary: how does an individual locate meaning when the frame expands beyond comprehension?
