“When asked to reflect upon
— what these times have meant to me —
for this mural project, one of the first images that came to me
was a simple roll of toilet paper. Not just because I believe hoarding
it will be one of the many things we remember about the
coronavirus outbreak, but also because I found it curious
that we even hoard to begin with.
I, myself, felt a strong desire to buy toilet paper in mass quantities
even though I knew running out wouldn’t be the end of the world.
Upon reflection, I think with all the uncertainty and fear,
having a stock of toilet paper gave me (even if only metaphorically)
a sense of safety, assurance and control.”
