Gigant 

Dimitrie Paciurea sculpted "Gigant" in an unknown year, using stone. The figure is hunched over, seemingly struggling to lift himself off of the rough-hewn rocky base. Paciurea's choice of stone, a traditional sculptural material, lends the work a sense of timelessness and monumentality. The artist's direct engagement with the material is evident in the rough texture and chisel marks visible on the sculpture's surface. This reveals the labor-intensive process of carving and shaping the stone, highlighting the physical effort involved in the act of creation. Stone carries social significance due to its use in architectural and monumental projects throughout history. It represents endurance and permanence. Paciurea's work blurs the line between fine art and craft by emphasizing the importance of material and process. It prompts us to consider the labor involved in the work's creation and the cultural significance of the medium.
