More and more I think about the role of the arts, and as an artist, I think that it's important that I share the love and peace.

I have been struggling with mental illness and emptiness throughout my life. Now I want people to understand my glorious quest for the truth. Working on paintings is a process toward my artistic creation. It is a new spiritual theme of my whole philosophy for pursuing the truth. Each painting represents a process in all of my art.

I believe that eyes are very important motifs. Thats something that can discern the peace and love.

I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.

I would like to dedicate to the whole world a great message. It is a message from Kusama who has struggled to survive as a human being and as an artist, and whose life has been brightly lit and strengthened by her pursuit of truth.

Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots we become part of the unity of our environments.

It is my wish to leave a message to the whole world from the universe, a message of love and peace to the people of the world.
