At the museum of art The Broad, as in many other art museums, one of the most popular attractions is the installation of infinity mirrors designed by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Most of her work’s inspiration comes from hallucinations she has experienced. Instead of letting these hallucinations that stem from her mental illness affect her negatively she has proven to use them in her favor.

Her most popular work in Los Angeles is Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, made in 2013. This installation, a physical representation of what Kusama’s world, has become a favorite instagram posting site. She was able to create a room that would invite others to experience life as she does, as an expanding universe.

“My desire was to predict and measure the infinity of the unbounded universe, from my own position in it, with dots.”
