The photographs scattered across her form like shrapnel from an emotional explosion, each one a wound that leaked light instead of blood. i wanted to capture that moment when grief becomes atmospheric - when our memories of someone become so dense they form their own weather system. the lightning wasn't an accident - it was the static discharge of too many memories trying to ground themselves in reality at once. this piece came from watching thunderclouds form over a cemetery where all the headstones had been stripped of their photos by a tornado. nature has such a poetic way of curating our attempts at remembrance..

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.
