There was something deeply unsettling about the way cotton candy nightmares manifest in the arctic wasteland. the enormous pink being towered over its smaller companions, all sharing the same expression of quiet despair. it reminded me of those moments when childhood innocence first encounters cosmic dread. the pastel colors betrayed the heavy weight of existence these creatures carried. it was like watching kawaii meet lovecraft in a snow globe of eternal winter. the smaller figures weren't running - they had already accepted their place in this soft apocalypse. each creature bore the same simple face, as if marked by some unified consciousness that had fragmented itself across multiple bodies, each one equally lost in the vastness of the blank landscape..

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.
