Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has poured over a thousand mirrored balls into a pond and covered the trees of the New York Botanical Garden in polka dots as part of a park-wide exhibition.
The site-specific installations were created as part of the 2021 exhibition Kusama: Cosmic Nature, which has been creatively installed around the gardens in New York.

The show, which was postponed from last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, is open to visitors until 10 October.
Kusama, who is famous for her large scale polka dot-filled artworks, used bungee cords and metal staples to tightly wrap several trees in a red polyester fabric covered in white spots. The piece is called Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees.

Other installations by the artist in the gardens include a lake filled with 1,400 mirrored steel balls for Narcissus Garden, an ongoing installation based on a piece of performance art Kusama first performed in 1966.
The artist previously filled an abandoned building on New York's Rockaway Peninsula with similar spheres.

Dancing Pumpkin, a new piece from the artist, is a five-metre-tall bronze sculpture of an amorphous gourd-style figure on eight painted polka dot legs.
