Narcissus’ Pagoda
3/14/25 - 5/17/25
Wolfgang Gallery
Atlanta, GA

 
  Wolfgang Gallery is pleased to present Narcissus’ Pagoda, a solo exhibition by Aineki Traverso that tethers historical, mythological, and personal narratives through painting and installation. This will be the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery.
    Drawing inspiration from the myth of Narcissus, the exhibition delves into themes of observation, reflection, and performance. Narcissus’ Pagoda is an immersive, architectural dialogue between the subject and observer that focuses on the body of water that captures an unobtainable image. In this exhibition, the surface of the water serves as a lens, material, and performance object.
    Within the gallery lies an on-site pagoda structure to serve as an allegory and vessel. Inside, reflections take on new significance, allowing viewers a deeply personal act of looking that bridges autobiography, perspective, and situational experience. Consisting of painting and installation, Narcissus’ Pagoda offers an intimate meditation on the intersections of myth, memory, and performance to immerse viewers in a landscape of the artist’s conception.
