In the "Be yourself" series, the artist blurs elements such as skin color, appearance, makeup, and clothing, using the "blank space" technique to profoundly interpret her understanding of "self-awareness". She advocates that "self" should be defined based on an individual's unique experiences rather than being constrained by external factors such as gender, occupation, or race, and firmly opposes gender stereotypes. This series delves deeply into important issues such as the complexity of identity, gender identity, queer theory, and feminism.

Xianxi Liao established a platform "Empowering Children Against Domestic Violence", aiming to provide a communication platform for children who have suffered from domestic violence. This is a virtual world without adults. Children share experiences, support each other and rely on one another to overcome the negative impacts brought by painful experiences. They seem to be happier. In terms of visual expression, mutual assistance and warmth are highlighted. Through the abstraction of symbols and the selection of colors, she conveys the core concept of the platform: opposing violence, protecting children, and bringing a glimmer of hope to children who have suffered from domestic violence.
