“Encore” sculpture in wood is a single sculpture (shown in 3 pictures above)

that from one angle depicts a pianist, but when turned 90 degrees shows a violinist.

Fukuda created a number of sculptures using this “dual silhouette” technique.

“I believe that in design, 30% dignity, 20% beauty and 50% absurdity are necessary” –
