Secret Kepper
But what kind of secrets?
After exploring the field of neurocience, I wanted to make a series that talks about why we keep secrets; to build a connection? to protect ourselves? to create an illusion? But what’s more fascinating to me is that the oxytocin, and dopamine released in our brains, helps us create a relationship bond, the complicity strengths our trust no mater if your are the secret teller or the secret keeper.
I’m using octopuses, squids and cuttle fishes as a metaphor. The ocean is inherently enigmatic, like our brains; it holds so much to discover, so many secrets in both. But, sometimes I’ll dare to say, some secrets should remain unknown.
I find it nosy that our brain uses secrecy as a good bonding mechanism. I know we all have at least one secret we won’t tell anyone, and that’s why I built you a little secret keeper. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t tell.
