Jogoh rarely refers to himself in the third person, but when he does it’s usually in an underdeveloped autobiographical snippet.

Jogoh uses photographs, prints, drawings, and bookbinding techniques in his art to consider storytelling and the role it plays in how we relate to one another. The process of sifting through what often feels like dead hours of life to find flickering moments of significance allows him to dispute the idea of meaningless mundanity.

Graduated with Distinction from School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), his work often revolves around issues mental health. Jogoh also holds a Masters of Counselling (Distinction) from Monash University, mainly employing a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy framework (CBT) with elements of mindfulness for his sessions and interventions.
