Sita's tears turned to molten gold in my dreams. watching her sink into the earth, not from grief but from a quiet defiance, i painted her last moments before the ground swallowed her whole. the way the gold dripped from her eyes reminded me of klimt's tears, but colder, more calculated - a goddess choosing her own ending. The white surface became her prison and canvas, a place between worlds where she neither lived nor died. i gave her pale skin the texture of marble, letting the dark void beneath claim what it could of her form. this wasn't about sadness - it was about the moment power recognizes itself..

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.
