Chanya Vitayakul (they/them, b. 2003) is a multidisciplinary artist from Bangkok, Thailand, and a recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a BFA in Graphic Design.

Their practice explores the feminized and non-binary body as a porous site: one that absorbs, resists, and reconfigures the languages projected onto it. Working across sculpture, installation, and graphic design, Chanya blends personal narrative with material investigation to examine how the body is written, held, and sometimes violated by external systems: gender, language, family, nationhood, medicine. They engage with materials like latex, hair, crochet, text, and found objects, each chosen for its relationship to touch, containment, or the aesthetics of care and control.
