Paper long abstract:

In Kupang, there is a group of men called “ana botol”. Every day, ana botol spend huge amounts of time for collecting waste materials, which they later exchange for cash. While ana botol bring the large part of their income back to the village, by the time they return to the city, they usually have spent all of their money. How do they use their money? In this project, I hope to reconsider the notion of poverty and its general understanding through my observation about the way these men earn and spend money.
