[1] Ruperto's work has been described as "speculat[ing] on the nature of assumed facts and construction of truth,"[3] and utilizing "an intriguing play between an apparent sense of control, or purpose, and the actual lack of it.
"[2] The work, a series of photographs of imaginary plants based on illustrations from the Voynich Manuscript, is an ongoing collaboration with Danish artist Ulrik Heltoft.
Ruperto and Heltoft "created [the images] with 3-D modeling software that blends found images and textures into uncanny amalgamations... strikingly mysterious plant forms that appear to levitate against their deep black backgrounds.
"[6] In 2017, Ruperto's solo show at REDCAT Gallery, Los Angeles, featured his installation "Geomancies," which included a film, photographs, video works, and a performance piece.
