Dervish Aesthetics













Setting up a world and setting forth the earth, the work [of art] is the instigation of the strife in which the unconcealment of beings as a whole, or truth, is won.

--Martin Heidegger, The Origin of the Work of Art

Given such a definition, the question arises: to what does Dervish aesthetics not apply? The answer: Nothing.

The Dervish endeavors to be an artist of life: her masterpiece, the self.
