The Dreaming of Things (Aleksandra Kovaleva & Kei Sato - Ibukijima 2022 & 2025)

#YayoiKusama has passed, at age 97.
We've been fortunate to experience her art across the world, across years.

Example- this #sculpture during our coverage of the #SetouchiTriennale in Japan last August.

An art installation: a very dark room with some white blades of plexiglas. The only light is inside the blades and comes from the sun outside (the blades go through the walls)
