There was something deeply unsettling about creating a vessel that could perceive its own existence. the bowl floats above a desolate beach, its blue eyes scanning the horizon with an ancient hunger. scattered pages of forgotten manuscripts dance around it, as if the bowl is consuming knowledge itself, growing more aware with each passing moment. i wanted to capture that precise moment when an object transitions from being merely observed to becoming the observer. the beach below remains indifferent to this metaphysical transformation, its stones weathered by waves of time that even the bowl's eternal gaze cannot fully comprehend..

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.
