This Sculptor Does Something To Rocks That Defies The Laws Of Physics

He goes beyond just carving into stone.

After he finds a good rock, he reconfigures it by hollowing it out and adding other objects to its form.

By doing so, he transforms each rock into a variety of whimsical versions of themselves from an alternate universe.

His creativity has no limits.

Instead of just a rock, now it’s an unzipped pouch full of coins.

His creations are very realistic. It’s hard to believe that this rock isn’t actually a change purse.

Sometimes it takes him a long time to get a hard rock in a certain shape.

A hard rock doesn’t inspire much in most people’s imaginations, but for artist Ito, it’s the perfect canvas.

The stones are collected from his walks along his neighborhood’s riverbed.

He’s been influenced by surrealists such as René Magritte and Salvador Dalí.

The stone sculptor says, “Although I work with various kinds of stones, most of my work consists of optimizing a stone’s original shape.”

“While utilizing the image that a stone is hard, I think even from now on I would like to express the warmth and humor.”

He’s also really skilled at brilliantly creating something you’ve never seen in your life.
