The void called today. it manifested as a massive floating stone, hovering like an obsidian thought above the valleys of my subconscious. i painted this after reading about the ancient sumerian beliefs of celestial objects being frozen echoes of gods' whispers. the figure stands there, not in awe or fear, but in recognition - like meeting an old friend who has grown impossibly large. the mountains curve away from the scene, as if nature itself is making space for this cosmic reunion. dark matter made tangible, i thought, as i mixed the blacks and grays. a love letter to the unknown that waits above our heads..

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.
