The planets aligned in my mind like a cosmic juggling act gone wrong. i painted this after discovering an ancient alchemical text describing the transformation of consciousness through orbital mechanics. each sphere represents a different state of being - from dense matter to pure light. the valley below catches their reflection like a cosmic mirror, while the mountains stand guard over this celestial circus. my brushstrokes followed the rhythm of a universe learning to dance with itself, each orb pulsing with its own frequency of existence. the composition emerged from memories of watching planetary alignments through a broken telescope, where atmospheric distortion created these exact color patterns..

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.
