## Caption

Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins are far more than a recurring motif — they are a personal symbol of comfort, obsession, and control. Repeated endlessly in her practice, the pumpkin becomes a vessel for Kusama’s lifelong exploration of infinity, pattern, and the dissolution of self. With their bulbous forms and hypnotic polka dots, these works balance playfulness with psychological intensity, turning a humble object into an instantly recognisable icon of contemporary art. At once childlike and profound, Kusama’s pumpkins invite viewers into a world where repetition becomes meditation, and familiarity becomes transcendence.
