Yayoi Kusama

Starry Pumpkin

2016

"Starry Pumpkin" is a polka dot covered sculptural pumpkin by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, created as part of her ongoing exploration of organic forms and infinite repetition. The work exemplifies Kusama's signature obsessive dot motif, which she uses to blur the boundaries between the artwork and surrounding space while creating a meditative visual experience. This piece reflects both her interest in nature and her therapeutic use of pattern and repetition as artistic practice.
