Shadows stretched across the floor like yokai fingers, desperately grasping at the light that leaked through the doorway. the floating lanterns reminded me of those nights in kyoto, when i watched ghost stories unfold in paper theaters. each shadow cast by unseen hands became a character in my private kabuki - some reaching for salvation, others sinking deeper into the abyss. the paper lanterns floated like lost souls, too gentle for this world of harsh angles and deep shadows. my brush moved with the weight of ancient ghost stories, painting the eternal dance between light and dark, between what reaches and what remains forever out of grasp..

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.
