Join us as we explore the depths of grief and the human heart through the lens of Jox Teodocio's reflective photography.
With this W83 Gallery exhibit, we are celebrating Jox as a photographer and friend of Redeemer. He hopes that his art can help others experiencing loss and grief. The Redeemer West Side vision and values remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible, which alone is viewed as the infallible Word of God.

about the artist
Born and raised in the Philippines, Brooklyn-based photographer Jox Teodocio is a self-taught artist. His passion for photography ignited when his sister Owen gifted him a film camera 30 years ago. It was not until he received a digital camera for his birthday, 10 years later, that he practiced photography more regularly.
From 2006 to 2007, he exhibited photos through juried exhibitions in Denver, CO. During that time, the Denver Voice published his photo essay about homeless individuals, “Kapwa Tao” (fellowman). The Center For Fine Art Photography accepted his entry for the Denver International Airport Invitational Exhibition in the same year.

from the artist
"I lean on my photography when life gets difficult. It enables me to express feelings that words fail to convey. People, places, and things - when observed in a meaningful way - often reveal messages of hope & courage in the face of adversity. These photographs have helped me move forward through some of the most difficult times in my life. I hope that the images in this humble collection enable someone to find meaning, strength, and determination in their daily struggles.” J.T
about the gallery
At the Gallery at W83, we cultivate art and community on the Upper West Side, providing space for personal engagement, community conversations, and spiritual reflection, and collaborate with local artists from diverse backgrounds to explore universal themes of culture, community, and faith.
We bring together different perspectives in this space as an invitation to join in conversations we believe are vital to us all. We affirm the artist's right to express their views independently, and the views expressed by the artists are their own and do not necessarily represent the Gallery at W83 or Redeemer West Side.
