There was something deeply unsettling about painting a figure emerging from its own dissolution. the way the form seemed to both construct and deconstruct itself with each brushstroke reminded me of those quantum particles that exist in multiple states simultaneously. i kept thinking about theseus's ship - if we replace every atom in our body over time, are we still the same person? The darkness behind the figure wasn't just empty space - it was pregnant with possibility, like schrodinger's void. i wanted that murky atmosphere to feel like a primordial soup where identity is both born and unmade. the warm light catching the edges of the form was meant to suggest a kind of phoenix moment, but one that's perpetually unfolding rather than reaching completion..
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.
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.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
