Trashy art

This trash can is a perfect example of the culture found on 4th avenue in Tucson. It is a conglomeration of various parts from all over. The theme of this trashcan is a bicycle, which is a very important part of the Tucson culture. The more important theme is the mixture of gears, frames and other parts of a bike that make it work. Much like the city of Tucson, or any city for that matter, a mixture of people are required to make it work properly. A city cannot have the same person doing the same thing, much like a bike cannot have just one gear to be called a bike. All these parts could be used to make a bike, or they can be arranged like they are in this trash can. Regardless of what these parts were used for before, they are now a functional piece of art.
