Jana Javier is a visual artist based in Baguio, Philippines, who works primarily in charcoal. Her practice centers on the concept of "urban anatomy," using the medium to document the physical and psychological shifts within her local environment. By focusing on the structural details of the city, she creates a visual record of the community's changing landscape. Her work frequently addresses themes of social distress, particularly the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public life. Through projects like "Keeping Apart" with the Baguio Art Lab, Javier uses charcoal to depict empty streets and quieted spaces, capturing the isolation and social effects of quarantine. Her drawings serve as a somber reflection on the intersection of architecture and human experience.
