I first saw this work by Tracy Emin in Glamour Magazine, of all places, and was immediately struck by it. It conjured up feelings of broken promises of love rather than promises fulfilled.

After having long getting a tattoo that reads "I promise to love you" inspired by her work and that of Tangled Alphabets, I finally looked up Emin's other projects and found other neon creations by the artist boasting balmy and perverse prose.

I read somewhere that Emin says, "Neon makes us happy, that's why you see it all over amusement parks." It's that familiar joy coupled with talks of sex and undying affection that makes her work so dynamic.
