The infinite mirror

Yayoi Kusama museum, Japan

There is only one mirror I like.

That is the mirror the artist

Yayoi Kusama showed for all to see.

She passed away at a ripe age of 97

but her life, her contribution to the

art world is as infinite as the universe.

I remember her polkadots,

the small dots

big dots,

in variety of colors

on gigantic pumpkins,

on flowers

on everything.

Her infinite mirrors

captures the essence of her

life and work as an artist

Her legacy in the art world

is as infinite as the

universe she lived in.

We visited her museum last year in Japan

If I was not mistaken, it was the only museum

there dedicated to an artist who was still alive

but I was not able to get in.

It was already full and you need reservations

so you need to prepare

way ahead of time.

So I took a Picture outside.

I did not know she was born on March 22, 2029

In New York, her work is everywhere

in the garden, in museums,

in the street,

on walls inside buildings,

in bags and scarves of ladies,

in bookmarks .

All around the world, I see her works.

for though the body is transient,

her art lives on.

Yayoi Kusama March 22, 1929 - August 14, 2026
