But at age three, her parents moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where her father worked with a Japanese-based global shipping company. It is hard to imagine two more profoundly different cultures than Brazil and Japan. As her mother was not allowed to work in Brazil, she raised Fueki in a very different culture, thousands of miles and culturally light-years away from Japan. So, except for brief visits, Fueki has never lived in Japan as an adult. After attending a Japanese elementary and middle school and an international high school in São Paulo, she moved north to the United States for college and graduate school. Fueki grew up feeling like an outsider in Brazil and then again in the U.S. Even though she was raised in a Japanese household, the cultural collisions she experienced at such an impressionable age enormously impacted her sense of self and left her with a sense of displacement and longing – untethered in her own floating world. <span fr-original-style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(0, 38, 82); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 38, 82);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">NON-OBJECTIFIED<span fr-original-style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(0, 38, 82); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 38, 82);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">Curated by Kathy Battista<span fr-original-style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(0, 38, 82); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 38, 82);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">NON-Objectified<span fr-original-style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(0, 38, 82); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 38, 82);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit"> presents a dynamic group of works by female artists operating under the umbrella of abstraction.

She works toward questions driven by her life experiences in Japan and as an immigrant in NYC; her primary artistic intention is to communicate individually or communally. Therefore, many of her works are interactive or participatory, installed in public spaces. She teaches Metal Sculpture and leads a public art program, Works in Public, at The Art Students League of New York in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. She co-founded a non-profit arts organization, The Artist Gardener NYC to activate green spaces in the local communities through arts and educational programs.
