“Fitting” is a compelling mixed media artwork that explores the tension between societal expectations and individual authenticity. The composition features a grid of squares reminiscent of a Tetris game. At the bottom, the squares are perfectly aligned, symbolizing the conformity and order imposed by societal norms. However, as the eye moves upward, the squares become increasingly disorganized, falling out of alignment and breaking free from the rigid structure.

This visual metaphor reflects the struggle many face in trying to fit into pre-defined roles and expectations. While the bottom of the painting represents the facade of uniformity and compliance, the chaotic top illustrates the inevitable breakdown of this facade. It highlights the universal experience of individuals who, despite their efforts to conform, eventually reveal their true selves.

Inspired by the artist’s observation that this struggle is not limited to adolescence but persists throughout life, “Fitting” is a call to embrace one’s true identity. It encourages viewers to seek self-discovery, love, and authenticity, rather than conforming to external pressures. The painting serves as a poignant reminder that true fulfillment comes from being oneself, not from fitting into someone else’s mold.
