"PASSCODE, THE DARK DAY" is a solo exhibition by the intrepid artist Chanida Voraphitak. The ambitious exhibition weaves a narrative of environmental redemption and reflection within a pseudo-scientific universe, piloted by the dualistic Ka-Fai angels. Visitors are beckoned to traverse a world rich with allegory, where healing the scars of urbanization and pollution is paramount.
Over the course of a year, Voraphitak has meticulously blended illustration with painting to construct a series of works that transcend traditional media. The result is a constellation of painting, digital prints on fabric, sculpture, installation, and Virtual Reality (VR) pieces that offer a visceral adventure through a world bristling with technological excess.

CHANIDA VORAPHITAK's artistic journey is rooted in a childhood captivated by storytelling. Her early fascination with children's storybooks and manga cultivated an appreciation for character development and the illustrations that breathes life into fictional realms. Her work often reimagines anthropomorphic animals within the framework of contemporary narratives—embodying the beliefs and truths of their unique universes but also reflecting her own exploration of diverse existential themes.
