A series created and shot due to the pandemic, with Rico X. being unable to travel and get up to his usual foolish antics traveling the world shooting while also getting fatter on local cuisine, he looked around at what he could shoot in the middle eastern country he had lived in for early 9 years....UAE. So Rico X. scrambled around and came up with a few series ideas and this was one of them that he got lost in. Shooting all the car junkyards and car spare parts businesses of Abu Dhabi, Dubai & Sharjah and the people who work there as they recycle our ex-loved ones helping the environment.
Rico is not your fine-art educated type; there's no waffle and no literary enigma machines like dictionaries or thesauruses required to decode him. Yes, he will drop the occasional f-bomb. He is all visual, direct in speech, has a partial filter, and, if we're being honest, he is not keen on writing 'captions,' 'artist statements,' 'descriptions,' or 'bios.' These are the very things that tend to alienate many artists like himself, who aren’t silver-tongued wordsmiths with too much to say. So, we will keep it short and sweet: Rico takes photos. The End!
