Orpheus sang his grief into the waves that day, but all i captured was the echo - a disembodied mouth floating above dark waters, speaking words that turned to leaves. the petals fell like notes from an unfinished symphony, each one carrying a fragment of lost love. there was something deeply unsettling about the way the lips hung there, neither rising nor sinking, as if caught in the liminal space between memory and forgetting. it reminded me of that time i found an old phonograph playing underwater in my dreams, the bubbles rising up like forgotten promises..

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.
