Why does Yayoi Kusama use polka dots and mirrors?
Polka dots are my personal language, a way to express the vastness of the universe and my own feelings of being overwhelmed. They are everywhere, on everything. The mirrored rooms amplify this experience, creating an infinite regression of dots and of myself. It is a way to confront the infinite and to experience the obliteration of the self within that endless repetition, breaking down the boundaries between me and the world.
