Her career spanned painting, sculpture, performance, and immersive installations, and she frequently incorporated her experiences with hallucinations and mental health issues into her work. Kusama voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo for decades, continuing to work prolifically until an advanced age.
