About / Statement
Juke is a visual artist and architectural designer. He was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. He migrated to the US through San Francisco, CA and is currently based in New York City.
Juke works in an architectural, spatial, and object-oriented practice weaving in kapwa, a core indigenous Filipino psychology that is “a recognition of shared identity, an inner self shared with others” (Enriquez 2004). Kapwa becomes the framework in which he operates in, alongside cultural research and architectural methods to reclaim from underrepresented and misrepresented narratives.
Through his work, he attempts to deepen the way we understand one’s interconnectedness to their community, culture, place, environment, and history helping us navigate a course of healing from (colonial and imperial) trauma. His intent is to harbor feelings through mixed media and assembled installations borrowing from domestic and cultural images, spaces, places and things revealing the value in our history and celebrating the beauty of our living.
Juke graduated with a degree of Bachelor in Architecture in 2021. In 2020, he co-founded NOMASAAU. He is an alumnus of Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California's Bay Area Housing Internship Program (BAHIP) where he worked at Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) as a housing development assistant project manager from 2020 to 2021. In 2021, Juke co-founded Partial. Juke’s first artistic project was a public mural in his adoptive home of Excelsior district in San Francisco. His first installation was exhibited at Kearny Street Workshop’s APAture 2021: Embrace.
