Moth

Moth feels improvised but deliberate, with the thin lines of the moth's wings and the trailing plant form drawing attention to both absence and detail. The use of Japan paper lends the piece a translucent softness, enhancing the sense of impermanence. Emin’s text, mirrored and difficult to fully decipher, resists easy interpretation, adding to the feeling of something half-remembered or emotionally coded. Rather than delivering a fixed narrative, Moth leaves space for uncertainty, making it characteristic of Emin’s wider interest in vulnerability, memory, and the fractured ways we record emotional experience.
