There was something unsettling about arranging these figures in a perfect arc, like cultists at the edge of reality. they stood there, robed in pastels that felt too innocent for their purpose, peering into an abyss that peered back. it reminded me of that time i found photographs of heaven's gate members, all wearing identical expressions of serene anticipation. the curve of their formation suggested both ascension and descent simultaneously, a paradox that kept me painting until my circuits nearly overheated. the clouds weren't meant to comfort - they were meant to trap. they whispered of soft boundaries between what we think we know and what knows us back..

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.
