Rendered in radiant pink neon and stretched across an expansive horizontal format, the work unfolds like a handwritten vow suspended in darkness. The phrase, intimate yet monumental, carries the emotional immediacy of a private message while resonating with universal themes of love, loss, faith, and longing.
Emin’s neon works have become central to her practice, serving as illuminated confessions that blur the line between autobiography and collective experience. Adopting the visual language of commercial signage, she replaces advertising slogans with declarations of vulnerability. Her distinctive cursive script—preserved in bent glass tubing—retains the urgency and fragility of handwriting, making each piece feel deeply personal. The glowing text hovers between presence and absence, permanence and ephemerality.
The statement itself suggests devotion beyond mortality. “Meet me in Heaven” invokes spiritual reunion, while “I will wait For You” intensifies the sentiment with patience and enduring love. Whether read as romantic, mournful, or devotional, the work captures a human desire for continuity beyond separation. Emin frequently explores the intersections of desire, abandonment, memory, and hope; here, those themes crystallise into a single, luminous pledge.
The scale of the piece reinforces its emotional gravity. Spanning over three and a half metres in width, the neon text commands the wall, enveloping the viewer in its pink glow. The colour—often associated with tenderness and vulnerability in Emin’s oeuvre—softens the intensity of the declaration, creating a halo that diffuses into the surrounding space. The work becomes atmospheric as well as sculptural, altering the environment through light.
Originally conceived in 2004 and later realised in 2011, the piece bridges different periods of Emin’s career, underscoring the enduring nature of its sentiment. The phrase feels timeless, as though it could belong to any era of love and loss.
In this work, Emin once again demonstrates her ability to transform language into sculpture and emotion into illumination. Meet me in Heaven I will wait For You is not simply a message; it is a promise made eternal—glowing against darkness, suspended between earth and sky, presence and remembrance.
Overview
Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up
Across Tracey Emin’s print and wider artistic output there is a distinct feeling of an artist who is not afraid to delve deeply into themselves and to use her personal journey as a form of honest and courageous self-expression. Her art is widely both renowned and revered for its intimate and autobiographical nature, transcending traditional boundaries between art and life as the artist becomes both the subject and the object.
Emin's prints are inherently marked by her bold exploration of the themes of human condition, namely love, sexuality, identity, and her own personal trauma. This sense of vulnerability and of perpetual self exploration has seen the artist gain widespread acceptance and acclaim.
Raised in Margate, she faced early life challenges, ultimately pursuing her education at the Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. A key figure in the Young British Artists (YBA) movement during the late 1980s and 1990s, Emin has gone on to be one of the most influential, widely known and popular of not the YBAs as well as Britain’s most successful female artist.
Throughout her career, Emin's prints, installations and original art has delved into deeply personal themes, expressing raw emotion and honesty which is a central element of her artistic identity and practice. In particular, Her openness about personal experiences, including topics like abortion and relationships, adds depth and controversy to her work, solidifying her status as a significant and influential presence in contemporary art.
The exploration of her own experiences, including love, loss, and trauma, is a central element of her artistic identity. She employs a diverse range of mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, embroidery, and installations, showcasing a multidisciplinary approach. Emin's use of neon text, featuring handwritten and emotionally charged phrases, adds a provocative visual dimension to her creation.
