The Whirling Darvish sculpture is inspired by the essence of a traditional Sufi spinning meditation practiced by the Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order, in which the practitioner abandons his ego and connects with the divine in a rotating trance by listening to the flute music and symbolically resonating with the spinning planets, partaking of the Oneness of the Universe. Today, the meaning of this meditation puts on a fresh spin when practiced by non-secular dancers united in humanity and humility, harmonizing with each other and with the Cosmic vastness.
