Note du spécialiste

“I’m like a butterfly fluttering over hills and fields in search of a place to die, or a silkworm spinning silk, or a flower expressing its existence with a blush of red or purple. All I want is for human beings of every era to breathe the spirit and energy of their times and to face the future undaunted, with crimson flowers blooming.”
- YAYOI KUSAMA
