Have you ever had a secret so juicy you could never tell anyone, but you wish you could get it off your chest? That exactly the point of this public art project called Confessions, to make your secret confessions public (yet still anonymous) and to lighten your load of closet skeletons. You step into a private booth (much like a voting booth) and write your secret on a card, then drop it into the slot. Then, from the sea of secrets, Candy Chang, the creator of this project, pulls each confession from the bin to hang on the wall for the world to see.
At the end of this project, there were over 1,500 confessions and secrets hung on the walls of this gallery in Las Vegas. Interestingly, Candy said that over half of the secrets involved love, sex and the fear of dying. Check out some photos from this amazing public art project and read some confessions below.

Whoa! That’s such a good idea… Seems like a great way to get everything out anonymously.

Kinda like less creative postsecrets! Just kidding, it’s cool. And that woman who wants to carry a child to term but not raise one should be a surrogate!

My secrets are secret for a reason. I don’t think I could ever confess them, even anonymously.
