A Drawing of Yayoi Kusuma Heavyweight Tee

THE CONCEPT

“My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots.”

The Yayoi Kusuma Tee, a celebration of all things dots. Kusama's artistic journey began in her early childhood when she started experiencing hallucinations, seeing patterns and dots that would later become iconic motifs in her work. Moving to the United States in the late 1950s, Kusama became associated with the avant-garde art scene in New York City, where she quickly gained recognition for her unique artistic expression.

One of Kusama's most renowned artistic elements is her obsession with polka dots, which she sees as a symbol of the universe's infinite possibilities. These dots often cover her artworks and installations, blurring the boundaries between the artwork, the viewer, and the surrounding space. Kusama's use of mirrors and repetitive patterns creates mesmerizing and immersive environments that invite viewers to lose themselves in her artistic universe.
