RICO
BUT RITA

A conceptual art unit who shuttles between the poles of SELF(self-interest) and OTHER(altruism,) revealing the vivid shifts in relational temperature that surface in the interstices of human connections. By bridging relational aesthetics—which turns the very act of viewing into a space for dialogue—and the critical tradition of appropriation art that recontextualizes existing texts and images, the artist creates a platform where the re-reading of “I” (self-interest) continuously renews the collective perception of “we” (altruism).
