In a low-rise rental house of less than 20 square meters in the suburbs of Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, the piled up waste products and dirty kitchen utensils are intertwined with colorful oil paintings.
The author of these paintings is Wei Guangming. Born in Anhui in 1972, Wei went to Shaoxing to work for more than 10 years. Besides collecting scraps, he realizes his childhood dreams by learning to paint by himself. He gets up at 6 o'clock every day to paint, and following afternoons in which he collects waste, he comes back to paint joyfully till late at night.
