Kinetic Personalities

December 2023

This project serves as a metaphor for the ever-changing nature of human identity and the many facets that constitute an individual. Inspired by the dynamic principles of cellular automata, the project visualizes a grid of cells that continuously transition between phases of life and dormancy, mirroring the fluidity of human existence. Each cell represents a different element of one’s personality, similar to the various roles, hobbies, and experiences that define a person at a certain point in time. The periodic interplay of dying and born cells encapsulates the core of personal development and adaptability over time.
