What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?
Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.
The green version catches my eye first: the dark olive lid gives the lighter jar a clear focal point. I would also test the small white label text at thumbnail size, since the soft lighting reduces its contrast in both versions.
