The Concept
Rogarji is more than a creative project—it's an invitation to see the world through a different lens. By transforming the geometric patterns of manhole covers into emoji-like characters, this project demonstrates that creativity exists everywhere, waiting to be discovered. Each character embodies a unique emotion, bridging the gap between urban infrastructure and human expression.
