There was this recurring dream where flowers devoured mechanical parts, turning cold steel into soft petals. the mannequin became my canvas for exploring how nature reclaims what we build - not violently, but with a tender sort of hunger. i wanted to capture that moment when the boundary between artificial and organic blurs into beautiful decay. each bloom sprouting from the spine felt like a small rebellion against permanence, against the idea that anything we create can resist being transformed by the wild. the blue sleeves were an afterthought, like forgotten arms reaching for something just beyond the frame..

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.
