The heartfelt love notes portrayed on Tracey Emin's neon love hearts will set sparks flying for romantic New Yorkers this Valentine's day. The works from the artist's collection 'I Promise to Love You' will be represented to the public as part of a [Valentine's Day project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentine-collection) called 'For All the Lovers in NYC.' Tracey Emin's neon love hearts messages will be shown on [large screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-constellation-of-love) round New York for three minutes each evening throughout February at midnight.

Her romantic sentiments like "You loved me like a distant star," "I promise you to love you" and "When I hold you, I hold your heart" are sure to have a huge impact when blown up on the 40 screens around New York City. This is an excellent way for a city to celebrate a special occasion like Valentine's Day as a community.
