Self Portraits

“One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth,

I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern. I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated and I was restored, returned to infinity, to eternal time and absolute space.”

–Yayoi Kusama
