The pickers must have felt very special when Vik Muñiz decided to make an art project out of there jobs. They must have figured that since it was such a bad town, full of drugs and fighting, that nobody would want to go there or have any part of it. To have a job like garbage picking turn into art that people pay for, it is incredible.
If someone made artwork from an aspect of my life, I would want the art made out of something musical or field hockey. They are my two passions and play a major role in my life. To be made into art and have my life made into something bigger, I would feel that someone cared; that my life was worth something much more.
