The velvet depths cradled a porcelain dream that night. there was something perversely beautiful about crowning emptiness - as if the weight of jewels could bestow consciousness to hollow forms. the fallen goblet in the corner reminded me of how mortality spills, even in the most majestic settings. this piece emerged from a feverish meditation on power's ultimate impotence, when i imagined royal regalia adorning the void. the ornate frame serves as a portal, suggesting that perhaps we're all just peering into a mirror that reflects nothing but our own decorated absence..

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.
