Michael Kalish took nearly three years to create this brilliant 360°, 22′ high portrait of Muhammad Ali, using 1,300 punching bags, 6.5 miles of steel cable, and 2,500 pounds of aluminum pipe.

Zac Freeman collects junk, found objects and trash which he combines to create portraits. Up close, the pieces look like crap cobbled together; when viewed from afar, the work is quite compelling.
