“I paint nets to try to escape from my obsessional neurosis, but they also express the infinity of the universe.”
– Yayoi Kusama
By 2014, Kusama was not only a globally recognised artist but also a cultural icon, with her exhibitions attracting record audiences and her motifs crossing into fashion, design, and popular culture. Works such as Infinity-Nets (TWXOB)reaffirm how a single motif, born of personal hallucination and psychological compulsion, evolved into a universal language capable of bridging time, geography, and audience.
