‘I adore pumpkins…
As my spiritual home since childhood, and with their infinite spirituality…
…pumpkins bring about poetic peace in my mind. Pumpkins talk to me.
Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins.
Giving off an aura of my sacred metal state, they embody a base for the joy of living, a living shared by all of humankind on the earth.
‘It is for the pumpkins that I keep on going.’
Yayoi Kusama
