This article popped up recently but I really enjoyed Tracey's perspectives on the news and the current atrocities happening in the world. I especially connected to this quote:
"I’m also considered hypersensitive. I’m not supposed to watch the news or take in too many world events because it will weigh me down.
If I could I’d watch the news 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I’d flick through every news channel getting as much global perspective as I could. I fall asleep to BBC World; luckily I have a TV that turns itself off, but this last week has been too much for me. I cried this morning and I cried last night.
I can’t watch or listen to the news. My mind and heart cannot cope with the atrocities that are taking place.
What has happened to humanity? Just this question makes me want to cry."
Tracey Emin manages to connect to a part of all of us in her keen awareness of the world, and the human experience, for what it is.
