On the streets, in parks, or floating in the canal – they’re everywhere: lost deposit bottles, the unsung VIPs of urban life. Originally intended as valuable resources, they’re left scattered across city corners, stripped of their purpose yet quietly omnipresent. They tell a story of thoughtless waste that contradicts their designed role. “Urban Rich” captures these scenes exactly as they are, encouraging us to rethink the significance of these small, seemingly insignificant bottles.
Each image in this series offers an unfiltered glimpse into reality, a moment captured with no staging. What may first appear as litter, reveals, upon closer look, an unusual balance between nature and city, between human impact and untapped potential. There’s an unexpected harmony in this chaos, a beauty in contrast that this project aims to reveal.
With a touch of humor and a serious undertone, “Urban Rich” doesn’t lecture but gently nudges us toward a sense of responsibility. Perhaps it’s time to show a bit more appreciation for these everyday companions of city life.
