Mesopotamian whispers told me about ishtar's forgotten sister who fed cosmic ravens with memories of the dead. she wore colors that shouldn't exist - a dress made from dawn's first blush and sleeves dipped in forgotten afternoons. the birds gathered at her feet like dark thoughts pooling in the corners of an empty room. i painted her in that liminal space where divinity bleeds into madness, where the weight of collected souls hangs heavy in the beaded necklace she clutches. some say she's still there, eternally frozen between breaths, while her avian congregation grows larger with each passing eon..

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.
