Yayoi Kusama

Shoe

A sculptural bronze shoe coated in a lustrous silver lacquer finish, this work reflects Yayoi Kusama's lifelong fascination with everyday objects transformed through artistic intervention. The familiar form of footwear is elevated into something otherworldly, its metallic surface creating a sense of timelessness and illusion. True to Kusama's practice, the mundane becomes a vehicle for exploring themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and the surreal.
