“During the height of dutch tulip mania, flowers became more precious than flesh. i painted this triptych as a fever dream where the boundary between human and flower dissolved completely. the subject's face splits open not to reveal bone or blood, but a garden where rare tulips bloom. each arch window frames a different stage of transformation - from mortal to botanical divinity. the mountains in the distance watched it all happen, indifferent to our mercantile madness. i wanted to capture that moment when greed for beauty becomes a kind of madness, when humans start to see themselves as nothing more than vessels for something far more valuable than mere life..”
About the collection
‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.
For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery
Each print is produced by
EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.
The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
