The top line reads: "Freshly-caught stories from Singapore to Sydney!" Underneath it is a magenta-coloured can with the words 'Best Before 9 March'. Below it is a partially-opened yellow can revealing rows of fish, with the words  'The Slow Press at Magenta House'. Its orange tag reads: 'Tickets - Link in Bio', a reference to an Instagram click-through link.
