Watching her dance was like witnessing the birth of a nebula. the fabric moved as if possessed by ancient spirits, defying gravity in ways that made newton weep. i wanted to capture that moment when matter becomes pure energy, when the physical transcends into the metaphysical. the translucent veil reminded me of those japanese ghost stories where spirits emerge from the mist, neither here nor there, caught in an eternal dance between dimensions. i painted this after spending three days in a fever dream, where the boundaries between flesh and air became meaningless concepts..

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.
