Yayoi Kusama's art is a powerful testimony to art's healing power and human resilience. Kusama is a female Japanese artist who is most famous for her work with polka dots. In her early years, Kusama was abused by her insensitive mother and suffered from mental illness. She suffered from hallucinations and obsessive disorders and used both as inspiration for her prolific artistic work. Today, Yayoi Kusama works from a mental hospital and is praised as one of the most unique and resilient artists of our times.
