Césarine Wisline Lafontant, known in her artistic practice as Lyneca B., is a Haitian architect, photographer, and visual artist whose work explores the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. Trained in architecture, she uses her deep structural understanding to weave together disciplines—photography, collage, and installation—into poetic compositions that call for reflection, reconnection, and care.
Rooted in her early experiences with her grandparents’ low-waste lifestyle, Lyneca B.’s work is driven by an acute awareness of consumption and its impact on the environment. She collects found objects—discarded items from city streets, fragments of daily life—and gives them new form and meaning. What might be dismissed as trash becomes, in her hands, a site of beauty, memory, and transformation.
Her art is at once intimate and universal. Through her use of photography and collage, she crafts works that confront conventional ideas of waste and value, encouraging us to slow down and notice what lies beneath the surface of our urban environments. A crumpled plastic wrapper or a faded piece of cloth becomes a metaphor for resilience, impermanence, and the hidden stories woven into everyday life.
Lyneca B.’s work is fundamentally about renewal—not only of materials, but of attention and perspective. Her compositions invite viewers to see the world with new eyes: to recognize that we are part of a whole, deeply connected to each other and to the planet. This belief in interconnectedness guides both her artistic vision and her call for sustainable, conscious living.
In a time when speed and excess often drown out subtlety and meaning, Lyneca B. offers an alternative rhythm—one of observation, empathy, and presence. Her work is a quiet but powerful reminder that beauty exists in imperfection, and that through creative experimentation, we can reimagine our relationships with space, matter, and each other.
