Secrets Most everyone has a secret. They can be big or small. They can be held by governments or individuals. When discovered they can become a tsunami or barely cause a ripple. The secret could be a feeling others would find unacceptable. It could be an act that was illegal, or wrong, or showed questionable judgment. Or it could be a moment when something should have been done but wasn't.This series is a meditation on secrets. It is about things others don't want you to see when you look at them. And perhaps what you see but cannot say out loud when looking at yourself.

Secrets

Most everyone has a secret. They can be big or small. They can be held by governments or individuals. When discovered they can become a tsunami or barely cause a ripple. The secret could be a feeling others would find unacceptable. It could be an act that was illegal, or wrong, or showed questionable judgment. Or it could be a moment when something should have been done but wasn't. In a technologically connected world, words and images spread quickly once revealed. Recent stories range from government data mining to the latest in a politician's sexting exploits. This series is a meditation on secrets. It is about things others don't want you to see when you look at them. And perhaps what you see but cannot say out loud when looking at yourself.
