If we consider the work Zach Freeman (Zac Freeman) up close, then they can hardly be called works of art: just piles of useless junk. But as soon as you step back at least a few steps, a heap of rubbish begins to acquire distinguishable features and suddenly it turns out that this is a portrait of a person.
The material for Zack Freeman's creativity is all those things that usually accumulate in people for years, until one day they are sent to the landfill: old buttons, Lego parts, computer keyboard buttons, bottle caps, film boxes … In 1999, the author not only I stopped throwing out all such trash, but also began to purposefully collect it. Now in the workshop of Zach Freeman there are many containers with all kinds of garbage, which he painstakingly glues to a wooden base, creating simply incredible portraits of women and men.
“I am interested in the dialogue between the visual representation of my work in an apparent two-dimensional space and the three-dimensionality of the things from which these works are made,” says the author. Explaining his choice of material, Zach Freeman says that today trash has incredible strength and power, and also contains energy and radiates it.
Zach Freeman is an American author. Graduated from Jacksonville University with a BA. He has several solo exhibitions in the USA (Miami, Atlanta, Chester, New York) and Canada (Toronto). More widely "trash" creativity of the author is presented on his official website.

Kilograms of trash. "Trash" art by Tom Deininger
What to do with all the rubbish that no, no, but is collected in our homes on balconies, in closets, cellars and basements, in garages and dachas, in general, everywhere?
