The trash
lasagna.

Miami artist Ahol Sniffs Glue finds the city's discarded objects and paints them on the spot — then rides on, leaving each piece in the street for whoever picks it up first. This is the living archive: 3,000+ pieces mapped, every ride GPS-logged, 1,100+ minted on-chain.

The Project

Ahol Sniffs Glue is a Miami-based artist working at the intersection of street art, cycling, and environmental practice. Born in Hialeah, he has exhibited internationally and built one of the most active collector communities in contemporary street art.

Geographies of Trash is an ongoing public art practice. Riding through Miami, Ahol paints discarded objects where he finds them and leaves them exactly there, free for whoever comes across them first. Each piece is documented, GPS-logged, and archived — generating a living provenance record of found objects, rides, and on-chain records.

Exhibited at The Wolfsonian–FIU and at the 61st International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Recognized by six municipal governments. Studied as a model for community-engaged environmental education.

A living archive. The pieces logged here are what we've been able to verify. Geographies of Trash is ongoing and, by nature, uncontained — there's always more trash on the streets than a database can hold. Some pieces were collected before they could be logged, never publicly claimed, or are simply gone. This is the record we can stand behind.

Rapha — Limited Edition Jersey Collection
A second collaboration with Rapha Miami: two limited-edition jerseys in Ahol's self-described "choppy, sharp line work" — one drawn from the pastel palette of Miami's art deco, one a nationwide cycling design — released exclusively through Rapha Clubhouses. The first Rapha collaboration, during lockdown, is what put him on a bike in the first place and set Geographies of Trash in motion. Rapha Meets: Ahol Sniffs Glue →
