Street art in Paris

Spotted on the side of a building on the rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie, at the intersection of the rue des Archives: a stylized image of a roll of toilet paper.

In France, toilet paper is most often pink. Don’t ask me why; it just is.

Here, the artist has whimsically added a pair of hearts, rotating the pair along the roll.

The mirrored initials at the bottom, pq, give the work a title or signature. In French, “pq” is a casual abbreviation for toilet paper.

I can’t say why, but the image stopped me in my tracks.
