    In 2015, Yayoi Kusama created The Flower Garden, an immersive installation that transformed an ordinary environment into a fantastical field of colour and pattern. Featuring oversized, brightly painted flower sculptures adorned with her signature polka dots, the work envelops viewers in a dreamlike space where nature is reimagined through Kusama’s obsessive visual language.
     
    The installation reflects her enduring fascination with organic forms, repetition, and infinity, while also embodying her lifelong belief in art’s capacity to heal and uplift. At once playful and surreal, The Flower Garden highlights Kusama’s ability to merge childhood memories with universal themes, creating a space that is both intimate and otherworldly.

  • “Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    Yayoi Kusama’s Talks of a Flower Garden (2015) is a vibrant square canvas, measuring 6¼ ft by 6¼ ft, that radiates the artist’s fascination with organic forms and bold colour. Part of her My Eternal Soul series, the work explodes with dynamic floral imagery rendered in vivid hues and polka-dotted patterns. Flowers, a recurring motif in Kusama’s practice, are here transformed into symbols of both personal memory and universal renewal, blending beauty with an undercurrent of psychological depth.
