Sweet Little Lies

“Sweet Little Lies” depicts a woman’s face surrounded by candies and sweets, symbolizing not only sweet temptations. The facial expression refers to the ambivalence between the truth and harmless lies that can sometimes protect from harsh reality. Little lies can be less hurtful than the ruthless truth. The symbolism of sweets also reminds us of the fleeting nature of the pleasures and illusions that we often hide in our minds.
