われは南瓜 I am a Pumpkin

Yayoi Kusama Production in 2013 (black granite)

Pumpkin is the motif most preferred by Kusama. It is a work made with stone carving for the first time though this work has been producing numerous works.
Regarding the relationship between the title ‘I m a Pumpkin’ and the stone used as a material, Kusama is comparing to her own theme ‘Eternity’. Pumpkin (Kusama herself) was superimposed on the semi-permanently remaining material (black granite), and eternal life was blown into the work.
