Satita “Mind” Taratis, born in Bangkok in 1993 and raised in Ang Thong, Thailand, graduated from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi with a degree in Applied Computer Science – Multimedia. She is a visual storyteller with a passion for exploring the relationship between humans, nature, and spirituality. Recognizing the urgency of the climate crisis, Mind initiated “Sapiens 3000,” a personal project with friends, to discover ways of living in harmony with nature. Her photographs have been featured in group exhibitions both in Thailand and internationally. Currently, Satita works as a freelance documentary photographer, holding onto the hope that humans will reconnect with nature and help regenerate our world.
