Nova Pan (left) is a senior year major in graphic design at School of Visual Arts in New York.
She's collecting secrets in public places by offering strangers the chance to swap them with her own.
She tells BuzzFeed: "I wanted to do something that would make people happy on my birthday."
"That got me thinking, and inspired me to create a little release moment for strangers who have secrets."
"I want to sit with them and let them know that there is a person they can talk to."
"We all deal with a range of emotions after experiencing some form of suffering, and some of us keep it all inside thinking we have nobody to tell."
"In this cold, and long winter, people have waited in line, and even sat with me on a rainy day just to share their secrets."
"I hope everybody enjoys the moment while exchanging their secrets with me."
