In 1938, while traveling in London, Amino encountered the work of Henry Moore. Moore’s use of volume and figuration, with anatomical details softened and abstracted, spoke directly to Amino and the progression of his work; he was profoundly influenced. Amino channeled Moore's simplification and exaggeration of the human body, creating forms simultaneously abstract and figurative.

Initially, the Surrealists provided a great deal of influence on his work, and Amino delved into the power of the unconscious mind. He would appropriate figural gestures in his sculptures, coupled with titling that leads the viewer to consider family structure, portraiture and still-life, but the over-abstracted forms were not static nor were they literal. Amino’s use of negative space and fluid motion, with carved, voluminous forms, suspended and animated link him directly to some of Alexander Calder’s early mobiles. 

As Gregory Gilbert writes, “in creating his suspended forms, Amino might have also been inspired by the Constructivist spatial principles that Alexander Calder has investigated in his mobiles of the thirties; in addition to rejecting mass, the Constructivist artists also denounced the static character of the traditional sculpture, asserting that motion could also be incorporated into sculptural works as a mean of delineating space

In his oeuvre, Amino's Interlocking forms and organically carved elements have a direct parallel with the work of Isamu Noguchi, an artist whose work Amino had a kinship as they both navigated an Asian American artistic path in the post-war period. While the two artists were developing wholly different bodies of work, there is an innate similarity drawn between the two and their fluid, anthropomorphic forms.

This mobile, one of the few and the largest ever created by Amino, reflects an idea of physical form by projecting itself into space beyond the physical borders of the material. Time and space are explored as the sculpture moves and responds to its environment while the elements themselves represent talismans connecting the living with the spirit world.
