Whirling Dervish

It Actually Moves

The Whirling Dervish is one of the kinetic pieces in the cubearts.ca collection — a sculpture where part of the form is designed to move. The torso spins freely on its axis above what reads as the legs and feet, bringing the figure to life with a touch. Named for the Sufi spiritual practice of meditative spinning, this piece carries both the energy and the serenity of its namesake.

A Sculpture That Invites Interaction

Most sculptures ask to be looked at. The Whirling Dervish asks to be touched. Set it spinning and watch the torso rotate with a quiet, satisfying momentum — a reminder that the best objects in a space are the ones that people reach for. This makes it an ideal piece for reception areas, living rooms, studios, and anywhere people gather and linger. It is, as its maker intended, fun and interesting in equal measure.
