"The Stony Pear" is a stone sculpture with a predominantly green hue, followed by yellow, brown, and gray. "The Stony Pear" is a type of hard and crunchy autumn pear. In this case, the pear is so hard that it is actually made of stone! The shape of the fruit is stylized, and the surface of the work juxtaposes hard, angular areas with rounded, smooth portions. The most "stony" region of the pear resembles a stone pavement. In the end, we do not know whether we are looking at a fruit or a stone. It is a work about illusion and the contrast between the durable and the ephemeral, which started from a simple words play.
