Yayoi's work originates from hallucinations and obsessional
images that she plagues into sculptures and paintings.
Her personal life can be read through her work, which she
feels no obligations to keep private but rather expose in
kind of therapeutic way letting it posses her surroundings.
At first glance her art can be read with humour as it holds
cartoon element and is expressed in rainbow of colour not
commonly associated with mental illnesses /the author
herself admitted of having and been hospitalized in 1975/
but in extensive compulsion through scale and
repetition that gives a hint of her chaotic self.
