A rhizomatic “plant” made with the shared typography of the Coca-Cola logo. The inflorescence of the ‘plant’ are made from the unique global variants of the Coca-Cola brand. I made this particular piece after learning this little story: Coca-Cola was widely available in the middle east markets before distribution in Israel. Fearing a boycott, Coca-Cola resisted offering their product to Israeli consumers. Eventually the company conceded and immediately upon releasing the Hebrew lettered bottles a multitude of subversive knockoffs entered the market, most notably Mecca-Cola which donated a part of their profits to anti-Israeli organizations. This drawing recounts that narrative by using the English, Hebrew, Arabic and knockoff brands in one unified organism.

Of the 100 largest economies in the world, there are more corporations than countries; Exxon Mobil (also know as Esso internationally) is among the largest. I wanted to visualize their growth though the lens of Ecology as a natural, emergent living structure. Ad infinitum to a cell, to an organ, to body, to social group, to nation, to international conglomerates, ad infinitum. The Exxon Tiger Logo was arranged following the logarithmic growth of Coral; An ironically appropriate & opposing metaphor.
