The image features a pair of bright red, polka-dotted high-heeled shoes with green bows, set against a dense, swirling yellow and black background. The repeated dots on the shoes reflect Kusama’s fascination with obliteration through pattern, where objects become subsumed by the endless repetition of motifs. The swirling, vine-like background adds a dynamic sense of motion to the composition, contrasting with the static, central placement of the shoes. Signed, numbered, dated, and titled by the artist on the front, this limited edition print is a playful yet profound exploration of Kusama's ongoing themes of obsession, accumulation, and infinity. Her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to transform the mundane into something transcendent is fully realized in this work.
