EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing view of the tekke, also known as a Sufi khanqah, of Mevlana in Konya, Turkey. The reserve is specifically dedicated to the whirling dervishes, who are renowned for their spiritual dance rituals. Dating back to the Seljuq Dynasty from 1016-1307, this architectural masterpiece showcases the exquisite artistry and cultural significance of Seljuk art. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we can imagine witnessing these mystical dancers twirling in ecstatic devotion within these sacred walls. The tomb of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273), one of history's most influential Sufi poets and philosophers, lies within this hallowed space. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures the essence of this historical site with her lens. Her photography allows us to appreciate not only the external beauty but also hints at the profound spirituality that resides within these ancient walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Turkey's rich heritage and its deep connection to Islamic mysticism. This medium-aged building stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and religious devotion. Ricciarini's work serves as a visual portal into another time and place – inviting us to explore and contemplate our own spiritual journey while appreciating the magnificence of Turkish culture.
