| Polka dots, the trademark of “Kusama Happening”. Red, green and
yellow polka dots can be the circles representing the earth, the sun, or the
moon. Their shapes and what they signify do not really matter. I paint polka
dots on the bodies of people, and with those polka dots, the people will self-obliterate
and return to the nature of the universe. |
