Yayoi Kusama's relationship with pumpkins has been close since her childhood. According to the artist, in one of her hallucinations, a pumpkin growing on her backyard talked to her. Since then Kusama uses these fruits as a recurrent element for having a tender nature and a delicate and beautiful shape.
This sculpture by Yayoi Kusama is a reproduction of the original, located at Naoshima Island, Japan. This huge pumpkin of almost 2 meters tall has turned into a tourist attraction for the island, not only for it's spectacular singularity but also for it's peculiar location, standing right in front of the Seto Inland Sea.
