Yayoi Kusama

My life is a dot in the universe. When I was a child, I was afraid of dots. I thought they were going to swallow me up. But then I realized that the dot is a symbol of the universe, and that I am a part of it. So I started to paint dots, and I have been painting them ever since.

I am a modern Alice in Wonderland.

Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment.

If there is no love, there is no life.

I want to be a part of the universe. I want to be a part of the cosmos. I want to be a part of everything.

I am a person who has been fighting with mental illness for a long time. I have been in and out of hospitals. But I have never given up on my art. My art is my life.

I want to create a world where everyone can be happy. I want to create a world where everyone can be free.

I believe that art is a way to heal the world. I believe that art is a way to bring people together.

I am an artist. I am a warrior. I am a survivor.

My art is an expression of my life. It is an expression of my soul.

I am an invisible person. I want to be everywhere, but I am nowhere.

By bringing a new expression in the world, you will disappear.

Polka dots can't stay alone.

I fight pain in the mystery of life.

Art is life, and life is art.

My art comes from hallucinations.

Infinity is a way to escape.

Dots are the stars of the universe.

I want to eat the whole universe.

Obsession is my muse.
