Years ago, Tyrrell Winston began scavenging trash around his Brooklyn, NY neighborhood to utilize as materials for his collage artworks and sculptures. Winston is especially privy to using discarded cigarette butts, basketballs, and nets for his latest pieces. Oftentimes, the LA-born creative would walk for miles to collect trash for repurposing — a charitable and meaningful endeavor for the artist who aims to shed light on the stories behind every ditched item he gathers.

“The perfect basketball is weathered and worn. The perfect broken net is a rusted metal chainlink net that is totally mangled. The perfect cigarette to me is a Winston cigarette. I’m biased, my last name is Winston,” he said. “[The cigarette] would have lipstick on it and it wouldn’t be too smashed up. It would still be firm.”

Watch the video above to get a behind-the-scenes look at Winston’s creative process.

Imagine getting angry at this guy for stealing the nets and realizing that he’s replacing them

Taking nothing and turning it into something beautiful this is the true definition of a real artist

Respect for cleaning up the city and the other acts of kindness, but I can't help say the art was a little underwhelming! so much more potential in my eyes for design.
@marinafep5737 5 years ago

The fact there’s sooo many different stories, different emotions, different reasons as to why that person chose to smoke that cigarette, just makes the art even more interesting

"They don't call it lipstick for nothing". Literally the only thing I can remember my father saying.

This is amazing! Thank you YouTube for recommending this.

I’d be cool if he framed it as a cigarette and use the red lipstick ones to make it look lit
