EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of Whirling Dervishes at the Dervishes Festival in Konya, Central Anatolia, Turkey. In this vibrant image, a group of devout Muslim men dressed in traditional attire engage in their spiritual dance known as Sufi whirling. With arms outstretched and eyes closed, they spin gracefully with utmost devotion and surrender to their faith. The festival takes place amidst a backdrop of rich cultural customs and religious fervor. As the dervishes twirl, their flowing garments create an ethereal spectacle against the colorful surroundings. The high angle view allows us to witness this sacred ritual from above, emphasizing the unity and harmony among these individuals. Konya is renowned for its deep-rooted Islamic heritage and serves as a significant travel destination for those seeking spiritual enlightenment. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of Turkish traditions but also offers a glimpse into Sufism - an ancient mystical branch of Islam that emphasizes inner peace and connection with God. Through his lens, Bruno Morandi skillfully captures both the physical movement and profound spirituality embodied by these dancers. The vivid colors enhance our visual experience while conveying a sense of joyous celebration within this religious gathering. Whether one appreciates photography or seeks insight into different cultures, this breathtaking print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's diverse expressions of faith across continents like Asia Minor - now known as Eurasia.
