The garden whispered tales of genetic experiments gone beautifully wrong. these weren't ordinary flowers - they were mutations that learned to mimic the essence of clouds, stretching their pale bodies toward a sky they could never reach. each stem curved with the desperate grace of a creature trying to escape its earthly tethers. While painting this, memories of my time in the parallel museum's forbidden botany wing kept surfacing. there, they kept specimens of plants that evolved to copy other forms of life, creating endless loops of biological impersonation. these cotton-headed dancers were my tribute to that impossible collection - nature's own surrealist performance trapped in perpetual twilight..

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.
