Obama's Bon Bon Mots
Andi Arnovitz
2015
A bon mot is a French expression for a witty saying. As a play on words, the artist has suggested that some of President Barak Obama’s memorable quips are juicy little candies. Presented like chocolates in a box, one can discover, by opening each, things Obama has said, which seem somewhat silly in hindsight.
