Invoking Rumi, Shafique Farooqi's Whirling Dervishes transports the viewer to a spiritual realm in an ecstasy of colour. His images swirl and melt into the heavens above joining mind, heart, and body as they seek oneness with God. Having spent a significant part of his life in Turkey, Farooqi's art has been deeply inspired by Sufism. His recent endeavor is his book on art and mysticism “The Tale of Drunken Flute in Whirling Dervishes”.
