“Polka dots are a way to infinity.”
— Yayoi Kusama
As with many of her editioned works from the late 1990s, Fireflies demonstrates Kusama’s ability to elevate ephemeral subjects into timeless symbols. The print captures the duality of her practice, where playfulness and profundity coexist, reaffirming her ability to transform simple natural motifs into powerful expressions of obsession and infinity.
