Geographies of Trash is an ongoing public art project by Ahol Sniffs Glue that transforms discarded objects found throughout Miami into one-of-one artworks. Traveling by bicycle across the city, Ahol collects overlooked debris, paints directly onto it, documents the intervention, and leaves the piece in its original environment to be rediscovered by the public. What began as a personal ritual evolved into a living archive of over 3,500 reclaimed objects — part street intervention, part treasure hunt, part provenance system. This is the complete archive of those works.
This is the most complete public record of Geographies of Trash that exists. Some pieces never made it here — picked up before they were logged, never publicly claimed, or simply gone.

David Anasagasti — Ahol Sniffs Glue — is a Cuban-American artist from Hialeah who has spent two decades making Miami look at itself. His drooping, all-seeing eyes have appeared across the city and beyond. He has shown internationally, collaborated with global brands, spoken at universities and museums, and built a following that operates less like an audience and more like a crew.
He had been painting trash on his rides for years. When FIU came calling, it became something more — a documented, archived, living survey of a city's waste and the artist who couldn't stop looking at it.
Geographies of Trash transforms discarded objects into artworks and returns them to the public. Through cycling, the work becomes a practice of attention — shifting from routine to awareness, from what is overlooked to what is seen. Posted to Instagram with 🎁 and #miamifulltime. People started hunting. A community formed. A Discord of 2,000+ collectors, operating by oath.
Averaging 20 to 50 miles per ride, Ahol turned the daily act of cycling Miami into one of the most rigorous and democratic art practices in the city. Every piece documented. Every ride logged.
