On the occasion of the 20/20 exhibition opening, the artist shares this message with her reflections on the year. 
 
I find it so lamentable, 
The alarming, unwonted ordeal that has come upon us. 
O demons of unwonted fate. 
We will stand and face you. 
We will stand and face you. 
Through my art I go on manifesting, with all my heart, my reverence and 
love for the cosmos, the world, and all humanity. 
Our aspiration for a resplendent future begins with this. 
Our resplendent hope is sure to be fulfilled. 

—Yayoi Kusama, 2020
