A Year of Trash

Here is a link to an awesome blog. It is an artist, Kuros Zahedi, who has taken a year's worth of one man's trash and is turning it into a work of art. If you scroll back to the oldest posts (December) you will see the trash in it's raw form (and yes, there is a lot of it). The more current entries show the state of the project as it is now, and what an unbelievable transformation!
This artist has a history of turning trash into treasure, and you can check that out on his website as well. This is not only a great way to reuse what would be tossed into a landfill, but also makes a lovely statement about the amount of trash we produce and the way that us humans treat our planet.
So, check it out. Get inspired. Create something from what you find in your trashcan. Pin It Now!
