In honour of Yayoi Kusama’s birthday this week, our art piece for today is her Infinity Mirror Rooms!

Born in Matsumoto, rural Japan, Yayoi started drawing pumpkins in middle school and creating artwork from her hallucinations. Growing up in an abusive household, Yayoi would often experience intense visions of flowers, flashes of lights and dots. These would later influence her artwork where she channeled her traumatic childhood, and her experience growing up during war time.
