Check out the lights in Longmont that are in the Whirling Dervish Transcendence sculpture located at 5th and Main Street. They are timed to go on at 6:30 pm and as of now they last about an hour do to the shade on the solar panel.
This sculpture is in response to an experience in Paris where I enjoyed seeing a Whirling Dervish, a member of a Muslim (specifically Sufi) religious order who has taken vows of poverty and austerity. Dervishes first appeared in the 12th century; they were noted for their wild or ecstatic rituals and were known as dancing, whirling, or howling dervishes according to the practice of their order. I was memorized and envisioned the dancer combusting into flame and ascending in to heaven.
Nice work, Annette!
