“Love is the greatest refreshment in life.”
— Yayoi Kusama
The painting exemplifies Kusama’s ability to fuse personal sentiment with her broader artistic vision. Within its vivid biomorphic shapes and hypnotic repetition lies an emotional resonance, suggesting the canvas as a sanctuary of feeling as well as form. My Heart’s Abode demonstrates how the My Eternal Soul series becomes not only a visual exploration of infinity, but also an intimate diary of the artist’s thoughts and emotions, rendered on a monumental scale.
