Note du spécialiste

"I dipped myself into the extravaganza and mishmash of this urban mass," she explains. "I looked closely to people, made friends, talked to strangers, danced, ate and drunk in as many different places I could, always trying to follow that restless blast of energy that this city brings."
– Cristina BanBan (C. BanBan, quoted in K. Cowan, "Cristina BanBan's beautifully plump figures inspired by the life and energy of New York," Creative Boom, January 2019, digital)
