Being Yourself While Fitting In is a generative artwork that explores the tension between social conformity and self-expression, released on the pioneering platform Art Blocks.
The work visualizes this concept through the interplay of simple layered shapes that move between states of chaotic freedom and harmonious alignment. Beginning as a formal study, the piece evolved through animation into a hypnotic, shifting composition of form, color, and motion.
This project extends LIA’s signature process of creating complex patterns from simple forms, a practice she has refined since 1995. The animation runs automatically, painting and re-painting the canvas, inviting the viewer to pause and unpause the ever-changing composition with a click.
