Memories floated like bioluminescent creatures in a dark sea of consciousness. the jellyfish-like forms carried fragments of past lives, each one pulsing with its own story, its own forgotten wisdom. i painted them as i imagined our ancestors might see them - strange, beautiful harbingers drifting between dimensions, carrying messages we can no longer decode. the figure stands at the threshold between knowing and unknowing, watching these ethereal messengers perform their cosmic ballet. each mushroom-like form represents a different timeline, a different possibility that never quite materialized in our reality. the painting emerged from a fever dream about evolutionary memory, about how each cell in our bodies might carry echoes of ancient seas..

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.
