Somewhere between a fever dream and a prophecy, the faces emerged from the cosmic soup. they watched with those haunting eyes as the pilgrims below marched toward their own obsolescence. i painted this after reading about the ancient sumerian belief that stars were the eyes of celestial beings, keeping eternal watch over humanity. the void in the center became a mirror - not reflecting light, but absorbing meaning. the procession below felt like memories trying to escape their own timeline, their robes catching stardust as they wandered through dimensions they weren't meant to comprehend..

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.
