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.

I kept flat 2–3 colour print, no gradients, no softness, ink-on-paper style, and honestly, I didn't expect it to come out this cool. Does it give spirituality or propaganda vibes for you? What other era and modern theme you think would be an interesting blend?

Reads more propaganda to me honestly, the flat color-blocking keeps it too graphic to feel purely spiritual even with the lotus pose. I'd love to see this same treatment turned on social media aesthetics, that curated "perfect life" feed culture feels like its own quiet kind of erasure.

A favorite prompt of mine: "Use the image as the first frame and watch it transform into something unexpected."

Good Work!
