Tracey Emin 翠西 · 艾敏 | I can't Believe (how much) How much I Loved You 我無法相信我曾如此(如此)愛過你

2012

Tracey Emin's neon work exemplifies her signature confessional approach, transforming personal emotional declarations into public statements through the luminous medium of neon tubing. The work's bilingual presentation in English and Chinese extends the artist's exploration of vulnerability and intimacy to a global audience, while the repetition and parenthetical insertions emphasize the intensity and complexity of romantic feeling. Created during Emin's mature period, the piece continues her decades long practice of using direct, often provocative language to interrogate the nature of love, loss, and human connection.
