There! Do you see it? Yayoi Kusama's Pumpkin, and her pier!!! (it may be difficult to see on a phone, not on a computer) I told you that I could see it from my neighborhood when visibility was good enough and when it's low tide! #Japan #Naoshima #art

The same picture as the one in the post before but zoomed. One can see a very tiny yellow pumpkin (not a real one, Yayoi Kusama's art)

I did it! See this picture? This is Naoshima from my neighborhood. More precisely, the Benesse House Park. Nothing too special. However, if we zoom close enough: (see next post ) #japan #seascape #Naoshima

The same view of Naoshima as above, but zoomed. The pic is a little blurry, but the yellow dot in the center is Yayoi Kusama's pumpkin.

Right before the black kite swooped toward and right over me. Really beautiful birds

Naoshima is an island where colour feels alive. The deep blue of the Seto Inland Sea, the quiet greyish greens of concrete blending into the landscape. And then, Kusama’s pumpkins. Bold, rhythmic, vibrating with energy.

Kusama’s work has shaped the way I see colour, not just as a surface, but as something immersive. On Naoshima, that sensation is everywhere. A reminder that colour is not just seen, but felt.⁠
