Nope. Just you can doesn’t mean you should.

In theory, yes. In practice, there’s room for improvement. Starting with your gelée texture, it’s very thick, add simple syrup and blend it to achieve a better consistency. I’d like to see the pear slice to the right without the seed pocket. Personally, I’d reimagine it to have the pear on the right be the bottom, fill in the seed pocket with your biscoff, add the black sesame paste around the hole to “seal” it, vanilla quenelle, and then your glass pear on top. Basically stack it and it’ll be more refined. Correct your gelée, and you can draw a nice design on the plate, or get better dots. I’d add a butterfly pea flower to the top of the dessert or on the side of the plate with the gelée design. Good idea; this can easily be elevated with a few tweaks!

Far too messy, redundant use of pears that you didn’t deseed. Gelees have an unpleasant looking consistency and were placed awkwardly without rhyme or reason. Can’t tell if you just wanted to hide the ugly looking quenelle with a glass pear but imo the entire point of a quenelle is to show it off, not obstruct it with something else. Flavor composition is there and I’m sure the majority of it tastes fine on its own but your vision of the plating makes no sense.

Ignoring the plating, it just sounds like a bad flavor combination.

The right side with the middle and something less moist- looking on the left would help.

okay all the other things that others have said aside, question:
What flavor is butterfly pea gel?
(this is rhetorical)
there is no reason to have this in a dish, let alone on the plate in dots, when it tastes like and does absolutely nothing besides being a blue component

The colors are incredibly off putting.

That gelee looks rough my guy…. some decent pieces here but looks pretty ridiculous as is

For me a lot of the comments regarding questionable flavor combinations are cynical since we can’t actually taste the dish. Yeah the gelee is lumpy and butterfly pea doesn’t offer much besides purple but I like the complimentary color scheme and different opacities on the plate, and I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with the flavors you’ve put together. Does it taste good?

Glass pear is beautiful! Everything else probably needs to be rethought.
The texture of your Gelee and paste can be easily fixed with more liquid.
Also wipe your plates. The chocolate and biscoff on the rim makes it look super messy
