The Candy Chang’s Confessions exhibit at the [The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobu-hotel-los-cabos) realizes that whether it was just an embarrassing drunken story or a legitimate mistake, you don’t leave Sin City without something to hide.

Giving the exuberant crowd of Vegas a place to get a load off their chest, the [art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibit-columbus) welcomed confessionals of all kinds—with full discretion. Over half were about sex, love and dying alone. Each note was written on a wooden plaque and hung on pegs while select others were blown up and painted on a bright orange canvas.

Inspired by Post Secret, the confessional concept has spawned a number of similar projects. Similar to the [Toronto Confessions Underground](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toronto-confessions-underground)initiative, Candy’s Change Confessions is a powerful glimpse into the deepest and darkest corners of a person's mind.
