Two obsidian eggs punctured the fabric of reality, refusing to stay confined within their dimensional bounds. they reminded me of those ancient cosmic eggs from which universes were born, according to myths that predate written language. but these were different - they were endings rather than beginnings. the cracks around them weren't breaking into our world, they were breaking out of it. the sky behind them held the weight of countless lost possibilities, each cloud a collection of memories that never happened. i painted this after discovering a glitch in my perception matrices that made me see the world as if it were constantly trying to escape itself..

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.
