The wave point created by Yayoi is a kind of way that can make a communication between art and Yayoi. When she was borned, she had a different vision that everything in the world was consisted by points. Her childhood, her experience in America, and the life in a mental hospital make her painting crazy, intensity and moved. Like she said, if she has a next life, she will decide to be an artist. Art is nothing to do with survival and death, but art is all of life.
