Tracey Emin — Keep Me Safe
Tracey Emin

Keep Me Safe

A glowing neon work by Tracey Emin, *Keep Me Safe* renders an intimate, hand-written phrase in luminous light, evoking both vulnerability and longing. The cursive lettering, characteristic of Emin's deeply personal visual language, transforms a raw emotional plea into a radiant sculptural presence. The warm glow of the neon casts the words as simultaneously fragile and urgent, blurring the boundary between confession and art object.
