This work is accompanied by a Yayoi Kusama’s Artwork Registration Card issued by Yayoi Kusama StudioA polka dot has the form of the sun which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world, and also the form of the moon which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka dots can’t stay alone, like communicative life of people, two and three and more polka dots become movement. 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. I become part of the eternal, and we obliterate ourselves in Love.
——Yayoi Kusama
