Today’s prompt is: TOILET PAPER. Who could have imagined, huh… 😅
So, this collage has a backstory — and honestly, it still feels unbelievable to me. It’s also a small reminder of how sharp the Universe’s sense of humor can be.
The prompt “toilet paper” felt impossible. I had no magazine images of toilets, no toilet paper, nothing even remotely related. And let’s be honest — to me it’s not exactly the most inspiring word. Still, I’ve probably never thought about a paper roll as intensely as I did over the last day and a half.
I decided not to show toilet paper at all, but the moment of needing it. That very human situation where you realize there’s nothing to use — except maybe one sad little leaf, if you happen to be in the nature. And in that moment, you really wish you had a roll.
Before starting to put together my collage, I took my dog for a walk. She stopped to sniff something, I glanced over… and there it was. A roll of toilet paper lying by the sidewalk!! One dirty shoe print on it, but otherwise perfectly intact.
You really can’t make this stuff up. 😄
Of course, I took a photo — otherwise I’d think I imagined it. And yes, I decided to use it in my collage. The Universe literally gave me what I needed, although a magazine cutout would have been more than fine 🙄, too.
Someone might ask why I didn’t just photograph the toilet paper I have at home.
All I can say is: the Universe has its way of doing things. And so do I.
