In 2007, sculptor and costume designer Suzanne Jongmans\u00a0discovered the artistic value of packing foam and found materials.\n

\u201cThe idea of making something out of nothing changes the way we look at reality,\u201d she wrote on Facebook. \u201cA piece of plastic with printed text commonly used for packing a coffee machine or a television, can resemble a piece of silk. And the lid of a tin of tomato puree can look like a ring.\u201d\n
