Yayoi Kusama was born in 1929 and her status in the international art industry is not to be neglected. Her artworks candidly depict her own history and inescapable nightmares in details. In the forms of paintings, sculptures and performance art, Kusama peers into surreal psychology and expresses the universe of her mind. Her highly contrastive color schemes returns traces of visual art, music and fashion during the psychedelic period. Her significance is perhaps attributable to her icon status, and her explicit yet soulful manifestation.

Yayoi Kusama takes on self-sublimation as a primary concept and goes on to achieve an infinite continuation of creation. Kusama’s works are collected the world over and, consequently, her trade-mark unlimited polka dots and net patterns have widespread recognition. The theme of sublimation can be traced back to a hallucination Kusama began having in childhood: her fear of multiplying polka dots, as seen in her hallucination, set off a never-ending stream of artistic creations much like an ever-present hallucination. When Kusama’s sublimating polka dots fill the surfaces of objects and space, the object itself is sublimated into the space, blurring the boundary of objects, space, the world, and the polka dots themselves.
