“I am just another dot in the world.”
– Yayoi Kusama
Situated at the cusp of her return to Japan in the early 1970s, this work reflects a key moment of transition. After a decade of high-profile happenings and installations in New York, Kusama began moving toward a more private and introspective practice. The smaller scale and immediacy of the marker pen highlight this shift, foreshadowing the psychologically charged works she would continue to develop upon her return to Japan.
