The forest path always held secrets, but that evening it revealed something far more unsettling. while painting this piece, memories of childhood fears merged with adult existential dread - those massive teeth floating through the trees like abandoned carousel pieces in a forgotten amusement park. the second set of jaws in the background wasn't planned, it emerged from the darkness like an echo, a reminder that terror always brings friends. The path itself became a throat, leading deeper into the maw of something ancient and patient. the trees stood as prison bars, holding back whatever cosmic horror decided to manifest itself in our dimension. this wasn't about monsters anymore - it was about the spaces between reality where nightmares learn to swim..

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.
