R2-D2 Tuna Fish Can Sculpture

This R2-D2 has been made out of what looks like tuna fish cans and maybe canned corn? Beats me, you guess. The sculpture was created for the San Francisco Canstruction, which donates all the cans of food used to make the art to the hungry people of the world. Even Jawas and Rancor monsters you ask? Yes, them too.
