    Die Skulptur "VII from the series -Nimble and sinister tricks (To be preserved without scandal and corruption)" bezieht sich auf die Möglichkeit, eine Reihe von Ereignissen in Raum und Zeit einzufrieren – als ob die Aktion des Werfens von Objekten durch die Luft plötzlich durch ein Netz statischer Energie beeinflusst würde und die Objekte auf ihrem Weg in der Schwebe hält. Wie in der Luft angehalten, stecken unter anderem Bälle, eine Schwimmnudel und ein Stein in einer Glasscheibe und scheinen sich der Schwerkraft zu widersetzen. Die Auswahl der Objekte erfolgte mit der Absicht, eine harmonische und ausgewogene Komposition zu erreichen, die sich aus dem Gewicht der einzelnen Elemente und der imaginären Kraft, mit der sie geworfen wurden, ergibt. "VII from the series -Nimble and sinister tricks (To be preserved without scandal and corruption)" beruht auf dem gestalterischen Prinzip von Aktion und Reaktion – jedes Objekt verweist auf den Zustand der Unsicherheit, der durch unberechenbare Erfahrungen im Leben entsteht und auf essenzielle Bedürfnisse, die uns antreiben und am Leben erhalten. Rico befasst sich mit der Fragilität des Raums, sowohl formal als auch philosophisch, und präsentiert hier einen prekären Moment des Jetzt. Seine Kompositionen schlagen neue Wege zum Verständnis kultureller Entwicklungen durch die Gegenüberstellung unterschiedlicher Objekte vor, von denen jedes seine eigenen Bedeutungen und Assoziationen mit sich bringt.


    Sculpture "VII from the series -Nimble and sinister tricks (To be preserved without scandal and corruption)" refers to the possibility of freezing a series of events in space and time - as if the action of throwing objects through the air were suddenly influenced by a network of static energy, keeping the objects suspended in their path. As if stopped in mid-air, balls, a floating noodle, and a rock, among other objects, are stuck in a pane of glass and seem to defy gravity. The objects were chosen with the intention of achieving a harmonious and balanced composition, resulting from the weight of each element and the imaginary force with which they were thrown. "VII from the series -Nimble and sinister tricks (To be preserved without scandal and corruption)" is based on the design principle of action and reaction - each object refers to the state of uncertainty created by unpredictable experiences in life and to essential needs that drive us and keep us alive. Rico addresses the fragility of space, both formally and philosophically, and presents a precarious moment of the now. His compositions propose new ways of understanding cultural developments through the juxtaposition of different objects, each of which carries its own meanings and associations.
