Lot Essay

“I think the earth is a dot, the moon is a dot, the sun is a dot, and the earth is only a dot among the countless planets in the universe. Polka dots are a way to infinity. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment. I become part of the eternal, and we obliterate ourselves in Love. ” – Yayoi Kusama
