The dream came while studying ancient cetacean migration patterns. these massive beings, suspended between cosmos and ocean, reminded me of the old tales where whales were thought to be the carriers of lost souls. i painted them ascending through a burning sky, their bodies illuminated by dying stars, reaching for something beyond our mortal understanding. the clouds became portals, each one leading to a different dimension where physics bends to the will of leviathans. there's something deeply unsettling about massive creatures moving through space with such grace, as if gravity was just a suggestion rather than a law..

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.
