About this artwork
An original upcycling work made from a mosaic of colored aluminum squares, cut from cans collected here and there. These "pixels" are stapled onto CTBX panels, without adding paint.
Designed to be worn like a backpack, it allows for walking performances that delight the audience.
A 100x scale reproduction of the Junonia Rhadama endemic to Madagascar, it symbolizes the beauty and fragility of the inhabitants of our planet.
(-76% of flying insects… in 27 years in protected areas in Germany)
But it also evokes the necessary transformation of consumer society which, like the caterpillar that has gorged itself, must now metamorphose into a more sober but probably more beautiful society.

CanB primarily uses recycled aluminum cans, drawing on a background combining art history and creative self-teaching in Reunion Island. His innovative technique blends a meticulous mosaic of metallic "pixels" with artisanal rigor, exploring diverse styles—from Impressionism to Surrealism—and creating immersive and fascinating works. His creations, both luminous and committed, convey hope, wonder, and a keen awareness of the fragile beauty of the world we share.
