Standing at the edge of that massive dark wall, memories of every door i had ever painted came flooding back. the cascade of discarded entrances felt like a mockery of choice - thousands of possibilities all leading to the same emptiness. it was my meditation on the myth of sisyphus, but instead of rolling a boulder, we keep opening doors expecting something different on the other side. the figure in the suit became my anchor, a witness to the futility of our collective seeking. i painted him small against the enormity of nothing, watching as past decisions pile up like forgotten prayers..

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.
