“Polka dots are a way to infinity.”
— Yayoi Kusama
The work is defined by its bold use of colour, with teal-green dots scattered across a vivid pink ground. This striking contrast generates an optical intensity that draws the viewer’s gaze across the surface, creating a sense of endless motion.The playful yet charged pairing of green and pink reflects Kusama’s ability to use colour as a psychological force. Rather than serving as decoration, these tones heighten the visual impact of her iconic dot motif, transforming a simple form into a hypnotic field that suggests both microscopic patterns and infinite cosmic space.
