Tracey Emin

You should have loved ME

A bold declaration rendered in Tracey Emin's signature handwritten neon script, this work pulses with raw emotional urgency and wounded intimacy. The glowing text transforms a deeply personal accusation into a universal statement about desire, rejection, and the need to be seen. Characteristically confessional, Emin converts private pain into luminous public proclamation.
