This minimalistic yet profound artwork features a whirling dervish, capturing the essence of Sufi mysticism. The flowing lines of the figure in motion convey a sense of ecstatic spirituality, while the warm copper background adds a divine glow. The inscription, “Be still mind, let the Dervishes whirl,” reflects the duality of spiritual practice: the quiet mind balanced by the dervish’s dynamic dance. Radiating calm within movement, this piece beautifully expresses inner peace through devotion.
