Sad! I really enjoyed going to the Kusama exhibit with my (now) wife years ago, and my daughter had a Kusama phase when she was about 5 years old and dressed up like her with a hot pink wig and polka dot outbit.

Highly recommend watching her speak, for instance in the below interview. I've found her to be very eloquent and expressive verbally too.
