Fireflies on the Water

Last Thursday, I went "Whitney Museum" to see a exhibition "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" with my classmates. The exhibition was completely hallucinogenic and psychedelic like the title of the exhibition. It was totally full of works that represented the 1960s and the most shocking phenomena of that period. Jackie who is a teacher of my reading and writing class let me choose an artist in the exhibition and research about the artist. My artist was Yayoi Kusama who was one of the craziest artists in 1960s. She was born in Nagoya, Japan. After she had gotten physical abuses from her mother in her childhood, she suffered from a serious mental desease through her entire life. Therefore, some of her art works were horrible. On the other hand, others were extreamly beautiful like this photo. This art work's name is "Fireflies on the Water". It had been used mirrors, lights, and water. When I saw this outstanding instalation in Seoul, I just didn't go out the room.
