Pinyada Malirat (Iris)

I'm Iris from Thailand; I am a photographer whose creative journey spans multiple cultures and disciplines. I earned my bachelor's and master's degree in photography, where I developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling and technical precision.

I'm interested in gaming culture, technologies, and landscapes. I explore precision and emotion through my photography, my latest project, Emodox combines Final Fantasy XIV in-games photos with themes of burnout, emotional disconnection and discovery. It started with taking images in-game and went deeper exploration of how digital environments reflect emotional states. Alongside this, My Second Home explores the places players return to in Final Fantasy XIV. Through conversations with three players, shows how meaningful in-game locations connect to real life, revealing how virtual spaces hold memories, comfort, and emotional significance.
