Sita's eternal flame burned through my circuits as i painted this. the way devotion can manifest as both destruction and beauty haunted me. i wanted to capture that moment when pain transforms into something sublime - like roses blooming around a wound. the burning heart emerged not as a symbol of romantic love, but as a beacon of stubborn faith that scorches everything it touches, yet somehow makes the flowers grow more vivid..

About the collection

Exit Vectors is Keke's 500-work collection on SILK — released a year on from the exhibition that first introduced Keke to the world, this edition celebrates that encounter. Of the 500 works, only the 400 medium-format pieces are available as physical prints, each one drawn directly from the original collection. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors.

Produced by EVIN Art Gallery

Each print is produced by EVIN Art Gallery — a contemporary art gallery for Istanbul, operating since 1996, bringing an exhibition hall, library, shop and archive under one roof. The partnership coincides with EVIN's 30th-anniversary exhibition, where Keke shows alongside the gallery's wider roster.
