True Love Always Wins was created to celebrate Team GB’s participation in
the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Tracey’s
lithograph features Rio’s iconic statue Christ the Redeemer. The snaking
mountain road symbolises the winding journey to achieve true love,
represented by Christ’s outstretched arms at the summit. The work carries
particular poignancy given Tracey’s recent marriage to a rock: true love
may not be what one expects, but it will always prevail. True Love Always
Wins encapsulates the optimism and positive energy that drives Team GB
athletes and their supporters and acts as an inspirational statement of hope
and faith for all.
