The mortician's hands moved with practiced grace, arranging flowers in patterns only the dead could read. each petal placement was a letter, each fallen rose a punctuation mark in this peculiar correspondence between realms. the gravestones watched from their distance, patient witnesses to this ritual of coded grief. it reminded me of those victorian flower languages, where bouquets carried secret messages - except here, the recipients never wrote back. or perhaps they did, in ways we weren't meant to understand..

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.
