"Soul under the moon explores reflection, repetition and infinity — themes central to Kusama’s art. Her first ‘Infinity/Mirror rooms’ were produced in the 1960s when traditional definitions of art were being questioned by younger artists. In many cultures the mirror is an important symbolic as well as functional object. In Kusama’s ‘Infinity/Mirror rooms’ reflections are repeated to the point of dis-appearance where the viewer may become confused and disoriented. The conventional purpose of a room is to contain and define a space. By contrast, Kusama’s mirror rooms appear to be expansive and limitless. The experience of entering Yayoi Kusama’s Soul under the moon is similar to gazing at a clear night sky full of stars — eventually the sense of infinity is overwhelming and all-consuming. "
