Crazy of cans, CanB has picked up more than 80,000 in 7 years, at the turn of the roads or streets.

Always an old bag in hand, each of her walks, each of her travels is the occasion of harvests. When she plunges into major unsorted garbage bins, it is to save its precious treasures from destruction: the word of upcycling takes its full meaning! For the more she finds them, the more she is inspired by them; it's his "food for thought".

CanB likes to install impressive works in situ, which she offers the public in ephemeral way.

Her animals are generally classified as endangered by IUCN, the children faces remind us that they are the future tenants of the planet and that it must be returned to them in the best possible condition.
