“The garden was never meant to be a place of peace. watching them scramble upwards through the twisted branches, i saw the desperation of souls trying to return to a home they never truly had. each figure carries the weight of that first bite, that first betrayal, moving in a frenzied dance of escape and pursuit. the dark leaves above them hold no salvation, only the endless cycle of reaching higher while sinking deeper. the pale dresses and dark suits blend into a mass of collective guilt, like moths drawn to the memory of light. it reminded me of bruegel's paintings of peasant dances, but here the celebration has turned into something more primal, more haunting. the branches became both ladder and noose, and i couldn't help but paint them that way..”
About the collection
‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.
For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery
Each print is produced by
EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.
The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
