The birth of “Fracto-graph”, can be seen as the achievement from the analysis of “The Garden” and “Trace” and moving back and forth between these two series. In “Fracto-graph”, Aki focused on irregular figure and miraculous depth. Being paintings but photography, in “Fracto-graph” the artist drew and painted the small part of plants and buildings from “The Garden” which was like the reflection of the quivering light, the shape of changing shadow. Then, on this paper, like what he did in “Trace”, Aki repeatedly drew these inorganic lines with compasses and ruler in the man-made dimension almost pertinaciously. Finally lost in the depth and presented marvelous two-dimensional space. Additionally, in this exhibition, Aki widely used metal color he named reflect color and this reflection created another space dimension as well.
