This is ‘My Bed’ by Tracey Emin, it is such a well known piece of art, but I love the concept of showing people your most intimate and personal space. I like the way she integrates her work and her personal life to connect with people. I see it as her way of showing the world that she’s as insecure and imperfect as everyone else. She bares everything, stained sheets, empty bottles of alcohol, cigarette ends...and they all show the remains of a 'breakdown'. I found out about this piece of art when i was researching the theme 'people' for A level, i think it represtents so many things about Tracey Emin's life.
