About Sufi Whirling (Konya)
The Mevlevi sema transforms the body into prayer — white-skirted dervishes spinning on deep crimson Konya carpets, felt sikke hats pointing skyward, ney flute threading through silence. This system draws its palette from that ceremony: the blood-red ground of the world, the pure white of surrender, turquoise from Rumi's tomb dome, and gold from Ottoman gilded ornament. Typography pairs Arabic Naskh calligraphy with classical Latin serifs, honoring the Persian-Turkish literary tradition Rumi wrote within.
