Kinetic Brass Whirling Dervish

Raw Forged Brass Whirling Dervish

Capturing the eternal rotation of the Sufi meditation, the raw brass of the dervish is engineered into a kinetic sculpture that demands physical interaction. Rather than a polished, factory-cast ornament, the figure bears the deliberate, heavy marks of the artisan’s torch, bringing a rugged, industrial edge to a deeply spiritual form.

Anchored on a functional pivot mechanism, the heavy brass figure can be manually spun from its base. This transforms a static desk object into an interactive piece of kinetic art, physically mimicking the traditional “Sema” ritual.

The joints and seams intentionally expose raw welding and brazing marks. This lack of refinement emphasizes the grueling manual labor of the metalworker and provides a highly textured, gripping surface.

Subtle blooms of green verdigris (copper oxidation) and deep thermal discolorations are scattered across the body and skirt, giving the metal the immediate weight and appearance of an excavated artifact.
