This black ink etching was executed by Tracey Emin in 2013. At the centre of a white paper background, Emin has rendered a familiar rectangular dinner table laid with plates and cutlery. On the right-hand side of the composition, a figure sits at the table with their head in their hands, as another figure stands behind in support.
The work of Emin is, at times, painfully honest and intimate. You Forgot Who You Are is certainly no exception to this. Even though the etching is simply rendered, it offers a view into Emin’s personal life and experiences.
A figure - perhaps Emin herself - sits at a dining table with their head despairingly in their hands. Behind this troubled figure, another is consoling this figure by holding them close. Even though the work is clearly personal, Emin still evokes a universality with these anonymous figures, conveying the importance of friendship when we forget who we are.
