Fumiaki Aono's assemblages stack secondhand dressers, chests, and cabinets into towering structures that evoke apartment buildings and bustling streets. Drawers become windows with tiny tenants leaning out, while bicycles, hats, and shoes jut from the edges, suggesting movement and evolution. The works are a playful yet poignant commentary on regeneration and repurposing.

Aono's shift from plywood to found furniture added a rich conceptual layer, infusing each piece with the lived histories of previous owners. His concept of 'regeneration' now encompasses memory, legend, and the collective unconscious. The sculptures are both visually captivating and deeply thought-provoking, bridging craft and narrative.
