She is the youngest daughter of avant-garde artists Cesare Syjuco and Jean Marie Syjuco.
In combining elements such as installation, photography, painting, electrified mixed media constructions and sound art with her own poems, Syjuco infuses each piece with intimate, intricately layered—- often dark and sensually twisted—- narratives. Her first book of poetry, A Secret Life, was published in 2008 and received critical acclaim. Her poems have been translated into Polish and French, and have seen print in several international anthologies including the Asia Literary Review, The Poet’s Guild Quarterly, Chopin with Cherries, and the 2011 Rhino International Poetry Anthology.
