FIRST LOVE 3
Against a vibrant fuchsia background, with splashes that resemble heartbeats or exploding emotions, an absurd yet tender scene unfolds. In the center, a girl sits on the toilet with an expression of total surprise: she has run out of toilet paper. In front of her, a boy kneels as if about to declare his love, in a pose of eternal love, but instead of a ring, he offers her a brand new roll of toilet paper.
With his eyes closed and nose covered, the boy surrenders to the heroic act with a mixture of tenderness, humor, and absolute respect. It is a scene that turns an everyday and embarrassing moment into a pure gesture of care and complicity. Alberto León transforms the scatological into something almost romantic, reminding us that love and empathy are also found in the most ridiculous… and most human moments.
