# Dumpster-Diving Photography 'Rubbish' From Diver and Aguilar Peeks Inside Garbage Bags By Allison Love | Published 2010-08-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubbish-from-diver-and-aguilar References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Rubbish/639671) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/diveraguilar) 'Rubbish' from Diver and Aguilar is a fantastic album of trashtastic photos from various garbage bags. The photos are exquisitely done and manage to add some amazing dynamism to simple bags full of trash. The pictures show a diversification of random objects, from beautiful costume jewelry to creepy clown masks. 'Rubbish' from Diver and Aguilar is definitely interesting. I guess what they say is true: one man's trash is another man's treasure. **Implications** - While trash was once considered a very dirty thing, the old expression "one man's trash is another man's treasure" has really been proven to be true within this recession period. Companies should embrace "upcycling" -- the process of taking old products and transforming them into something new. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling:** Embrace 'upcycling' to transform old products into something new. - **Trash-to-treasure:** Explore the concept of 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' and find innovative ways to repurpose discarded items. - **Diversification:** Discover the value in diversifying random objects and creating unique products or experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Accessories:** Incorporate upcycled materials into fashion and accessories to create sustainable and unique designs. - **Art and Design:** Use the concept of trash-to-treasure to create captivating and thought-provoking art and design pieces. - **Recycling and Waste Management:** Promote diversification and innovative solutions within the recycling and waste management industry to maximize resource utilization. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably Constructed Garbage Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubbish-bin.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Whimsical Garbage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-garbage-bags.md) - [Reusable Classical Artwork Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycling-beauty.md) - [Upcycled Tent Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-festival-waste.md) - [QSR-Themed Premium Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litter-and-glamour-collection.md) - [Recycled Collectible Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclings.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Artful Seaweed-Inspired Bin Magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-edition.md)
