"Forget yourself. Become one with eternity." 

Yayoi Kusama “Forget yourself. Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment. Enjoy what you like the most”

Kusama had been diagnosed with an obsessional neurosis, but she used her art to “self-obliterate” hallucinatory visions by compulsively reproducing the dots in her work.  

One day, she was gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the plastered with the same red floral pattern. 

“I saw the entire room, my entire body and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant, my soul was obliterated and I was restored, return to infinity, to eternal time and absolute space. This was not an illusion, but reality itself. I was shocked to see to the depths of my soul”.
