+ OVERVIEW

"I transform both vitality and nature into dots in the universe, and then the energetic energy flies away with love." Art has always been at the cutting edge of fashion culture. If we look back at Kusama during her life, Yayoi will discover the polka dots she created and the hats, bags and even high-heeled shoes that are covered by the dots. It has been a long-lasting and long-lasting representation of the aesthetic totem. The symbol is of great fashion value and has not been affected by the evolution of the times. At the same time, it has created a "Kusama aesthetic" which has swept the world. "Hat" was created in 1992. Under the background of the infinite net, the hat is the key figure, like a breeze blowing in the air, floating gently on the paper, with the yellow and green colors interlaced full of the spirit of spring. The "hat" collects symbols such as the dots and infinite nets from various periods can be said to be the original masterpiece of the artist's sucess in lifelong skill, which in turn reflects Yayoi Kusama's unrelenting pursuit of artistic beauty through creation: the beauty of mankind, the sorrow of death and the desire to exist.
