Original Artwork: Whirling Dervish – Ya Allah

Whirling Dervish – Ya Allah

This spiritually evocative work portrays the Whirling Dervish as a symbol of surrender, remembrance, and divine longing. Dressed in a flowing white and brown robe with a red hat, the figure turns in sacred motion, transcending the physical world through devotion. The robe and hat are handcrafted from leather and carefully painted, while the background in rich shades of brown and red creates a warm atmosphere of spiritual intensity and contemplation.

The hammered aluminum calligraphy of “Ya Allah” becomes the heartbeat of the composition — a sacred invocation echoing through movement and silence. The whirling reflects the soul’s eternal journey toward divine unity, while the layered textures and symbolic materials invite the viewer into a visual prayer of humility, love, and transcendence.
