Cola
Art has a way of finding you, as seen here. Part of an old Coca-Cola metal sign is used to block off the window of an old abandoned building in downtown Shreveport, LA. The brick wall surrounding the window has seen a variety of paint colors before what appears to have been an old sign covered the space, as evidenced by the 4 bolt patterns above and below the rectangular outline. The pastel colors surrounding the small sign covered window tell a story of days gone by and remain to tell their story in a different light than perhaps was originally intended.
