de profundis5/15/26 - 6/10/26Half GalleryNew York, NY
Within painting lies a forgotten memory, a dream, or other phenomena absorbed and passed over, as a death and a rebirth. The void seduces the mind or vice versa—then abstraction is born.&#38;nbsp; Every time I have said goodbye, I erased a memory and found a new compulsion. I have molded myself into a being without a name or a place, unbeholden. I never believed in god, just the body and everything within its reach. 

It is impossible to return to the same place in time, but some have the ability to make an object that contains the past, and we continue to do so compulsively. As long as we maintain this practice of making, we keep ourselves alive. Here, painting is a love letter and an elegy not only for the inevitable or for an impossible body, but for every body that could not say goodbye, for every body who could not choose their time or place. 

Referencing the eponymous text by Oscar Wilde, de profundis explores painting as both phantasm and memento mori through dreamscapes, expressions of gender ambiguity, and abstracted homages to historical paintings. This work aims to propose questions around the way we perceive ourselves and others, the consequences of our expectations, and the legacy of the painter. 

I use the rhetoric of painting to make sense of the corporeal and the terrestrial by articulating disparate familial and social narratives. I often return to the idea of a lacuna, or an unfilled space where something once existed. In my practice, it represents an absence in memory, experience, kinship, or cultural understanding. My painting confronts shapeless negative space that exists between what is legible or is able to be depicted as a recourse to the profound yearning for a place I am currently no longer able to access.&#38;nbsp; I both mourn and celebrate ancestors of the past, occurrences in the present, and events yet to come, blurring the lines between subjective reality and memory.

Wolfgang Gallery announcementAineki employs the rhetoric of painting to articulate a personal narrative rooted in poetics and impossibility. Aineki's filmmaking background provides a conceptual and material foundation for a phenomenological approach to painting, in which site-specific installations serve as allusions to the gaze, the lens, architectural space, and situational aesthetics. The iconography in the paintings is derived from a personal archive that includes inherited and found materials, the foundation of which relies on thousands of family photos that span generations and homelands and contain multitudes of histories, memories, and fantasies.

	&#38;lt;-- backNarcissus’ Pagoda3/14/25 - 5/17/25Wolfgang GalleryAtlanta, GA
Drawing inspiration from the myth of Narcissus, the exhibition delves into themes of observation, reflection, and performance. Narcissus’ Pagoda is an architectural dialogue between the subject and observer that focuses on a 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, a reflection allows for a deeply personal act of looking that bridges autobiography, perspective, and situational experience.

The Middle Distance
10/5/24
SITE at Goat Farm, Atlanta, GAThe Middle Distance is a painting installation that highlights landscapes and flora as they exist within the urban. This project is a site-specific iteration of this concept in my practice, focusing on the human’s role within, around, and as part of nature. The atypically placed viewfinder, used to view a pastoral, figurative oil painting, addresses art historical themes of voyeurism, the fantastical, accessibility, gentrification and urban development, and environmental concerns. This project is supported in-part through an investment from IDEA CAPITAL, a community-based pool of funds created by and for the Atlanta arts community.&#38;nbsp;[Watch a video of the installation in practice here]

These small paintings on paper are part of a daily practice. Every day upon entering the studio, I begin and resolve at least one work with neither reference nor intent. This is my form of drawing and also serves as a warmup before jumping into a larger painting. When I install these works, I mount them and use a custom cleating system to hang them in a horizontal line across a wall that calls to my passion for both film and landscape. See my flat file for more.

3/28/24 - 5/2/24
Swan Coach House Gallery
2024 Edge Award Exhibition,&#38;nbsp;Atlanta, GALacuna is a term used to label a gap, a missing part, or an unfilled space, most commonly in manuscripts. In a broader context, it also represents an absence in memory, experience, or understanding of personal and/or cultural narratives.&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Drawing upon inherited materials such as family photographs, letters, memoirs, and digital documents, I use the rhetoric of painting to investigate extremes, banalities, emotions, losses, ﻿and curiosities. I both mourn and celebrate ancestors of the past, occurrences in the present, and events yet to come, blurring the lines between subjective reality, memory, and dreamscape.

	&#38;lt;-- backCasita8/15/23-9/15/23Elsewhere, Atlanta, GACasita is a memory of a childhood fantasy. Through painting and installation, a specific time and location is recreated within a domestic setting using fragmented bodies and abstracted, dreamlike scapes to convey a sense of nostalgia for a place that no longer exists."I grew up on the seventh floor of a building in Washington, DC. I slept among the plants in my mother's garden in our living room, which became my Eden above the city. Staring out the window through the leaves, I imagined my body floating through the sky and over the city. I would caress the plants, who were my friends, and whisper, I miss the ground, too."
