The sculpture represents a succulent plant, in
particular a prickly pear. The plant is made entirely of stainless steel and
subsequently polished. It rests on a reinforced concrete parallelepiped whose
shape ends in an irregular manner. The parallelepiped that acts as a vase has a
rough and primitive appearance so as to enhance the porosity of the concrete.
The irregular and thorny surface that would naturally
delineate the prickly pear plant is here reinterpreted by the artist through
the fusion of welding drops. Among the works carried out on the sculpture are:
welding, polishing and pouring. Each component of the work was made entirely by
hand by the artist.
