Yayoi Kusama - Little People Big Dreams

Little Yayoi grew up in Japan and loved creating art. Although her parents didn't approve of her pastime, Yayoi continued to express herself through painting and drawing. One day, at around ten years old, she had an intense vision. All of a sudden, she felt as though she was in a field of talking flowers, their heads looked like little dots going on forever and ever, and she was becoming part of them . . .
