Panida 'Te' Petchara is a Thai photographer and audiovisual artist based between Bangkok and Rotterdam. Her work reinterprets everyday objects to explore themes of superstition, capitalism, and socio-political dynamics. Raised in Songkhla, her journey from Thailand's media industry to earning an MFA in Lens-Based Media at Piet Zwart Institute shaped her focus on displacement, cultural complexity, and and the struggles faced by underprivileged communities. Projects like 'Dream Weaver 555' and 'GIVE ME LUCK. FEED ME HOPE.' use subversive satire and still-life photography to explore Thai society through the lens of superstition. Her work has been exhibited globally, including at the EYE Film Museum (Amsterdam), V2_ (Rotterdam), and film festivals in Australia, Greece, and the USA.
