Turkish Dervish Ceremony in Istanbul Hall

by Lillie Mosley

Pale, diffuse light falls through the high windows of a stone ceremonial hall in Moda, Istanbul, illuminating a single figure in a long, white conical hat and flowing skirt. The dancer stands poised on a circular rug, arms extended in a gesture of stillness against the cool, gray walls. Late autumn is visible through the window frames where bare branches press against the glass, against the warm, earthy tones of the wooden floor. Heavy overcast skies outside cast a uniform, shadowless glow across the room, showing the texture of the fabric and the smoothness of the stone. The wide perspective shows the vast, empty space surrounding the solitary performer, showing quiet focus. A faint reflection of the white hat appears on the polished wooden floorboards near the dancer's feet.
