“I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live. If I had not found that path, I am sure I would have committed suicide… I remember the many times I stood beside the tracks of the Chuo Line, waiting for the train and thinking of ending my life. What saved my life was making my way—blindly and gropingly at first—down the path to art.” Yayoi Kusama and the Art of Infinity
