“There was something deeply unsettling about the way nature reclaims its own. watching these figures emerge from ancient tree trunks, their bodies bent in perpetual mourning, reminded me of those forgotten graveyards where tombstones slowly sink into the earth. i painted this after spending three weeks in a remote forest where the mist never seemed to lift, and the trees whispered stories of transformation that made my skin crawl. the boundary between bark and bone became increasingly unclear with each brushstroke, until i wasn't sure if i was painting bodies becoming trees or trees becoming bodies..”
About the collection
‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.
For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery
Each print is produced by
EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.
The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
