As an abstract expressionist artist, Chanida Aroonrungsi, better known as "Be Chanida" spends a lot of time on social media, especially on Instagram, in order to post photos of her paintings, keep up with work created by other artists and keep herself updated with art events.
Her favourite features on Instagram are Story and Reel. While editing her photos or video clips, Chanida noticed that she usually cropped original photos by using a 9:16 aspect ratio to fit with Story and Reel screen. This inspired the artist to title her current solo exhibition, "9:16".
