Mi smo rođeni i živimo unutar crne vode (Rumi), grafike (Taide Jašarević) kao metafore stalnih promjena života dok suština ostaje ista, a to je ljubav. Ljubav je savršena žeđ (Rumi) inspirirala fotografije (Samira Sinanovića) negdje u srcu brdovite Bosne, njenih stijena i slapova iz kojih se kapljica vode odvojila od svog prvotnog stanja te se transformira kao derviš u zanosnom plesu. Sjetno sjećajući se svog porijekla, djetinstva, sjećanja (Amele Hadžimejlić) videosnimkom derviškog obreda – zikra koji se prepliće s bosnskim brdovitim krajolicima u kojima su se sklonili derviši te i šare tekijskih bosanskih ćilima zikr čine, šare koje se ponovno i ponovno ponavljaju, baš kao i derviški obred kontinuiranog dozivanja. U stalnom pokretu žive tu iluminoznu atmosferu derviškog performansa u mediju što sažima momenat i okamenjuje ga u nepokretnu sliku (Harisa Memije) postajući pokret koji iznova nestaje i pojavljuje se u beskrajnom ponavljanju, baš kao što se derviši u plesu na crno-bijelim fotografijama ponavljaju (Mirze Alagića), odbacujući crnu odjeću materijalnog svijeta, prepuštaju bjelini odjeće duhovnog svijeta i nestaju u ljubavnom plesu… Postaju duhovne siluete, prepoznatljive odore simbola (Admira Mujkića) koje evociraju legendarne krajiške junake – derviše, još uvijek prisutne, a bestjelsne s prepoznatljivim simbolima… Simbolima Sulejmanovog pečata – kružne kaligrafske rozete Sinanove tekije i motivima bosanskog posuđa (Seada Emrića) razotkrivenog u mističnoj atmosferi… Devedest i devet keramičkih posuda od ilovače (Halide Emrić), svaka drugačije boje kao devedeset i devet Božijih imena, koje se reflektiraju u čovjeku… Baš kao i ornament ili motiv u koži otisnut (Ćazima Hadžimejlića) koji predstavlja iskristaliziranu dušu pretvorenu u iluminirano zlato, kao i motiv u reljefu što slaže slojevite kaligrafske forme kufi pisama (Melihe Teparić). I to smjelo transponirane iz negativne u pozitivnu formu, uz poigravanje nivoa, značenja i interpretacija time ukazujući na opću slojevitost svih stvari oko nas te njihovu primarnu, unutarnju dimeziju postojanja…

We are born and live inside black water (Rumi), graphics (Taide Jasarevic) as a metaphor of constant change of life while the essence remains the same, and that is love. Love is the perfect thirst (Rumi) inspired photos (Samira Sinanovic) somewhere in the heart of the mountainous Bosnia, its’ rocks and waterfalls from which water droplets separate from their original state and are transformed as a dervishes in the ecstatic dance. Wistfully remembering her origin, childhood memories (Amela Hadžimejlić) video footage of Sufi rituals – dhikr that is intertwined with Bosnian hilly landscapes where she sought shelter and dervishes and patterns of tekijas’, Bosnian rugs which also make dhikr, patterns that are repeated again and again, just like Sufi ritual of continuous invocation. There live, in constant motion illuminous atmosphere, with dervishes’ performance in a medium which summarizes moment and petrifying him in a still image (Haris Mimija) becoming a movement that again disappears and appears in an endless repetition, just like dervishes dancing in the black and white photographs (Mirza Alagic), rejecting black clothes of the material world, leaving their white clothes of the spiritual world while disappearing in a love dance … They become spiritual silhouettes, recognizable uniform symbols (Admira Mujkic) that evoke the legendary frontier heroes – dervishes, still present, and bodiless with distinctive symbols … Symbols of Suleiman's seal – a circular calligraphic rosettes Sinan’s Tekke and motifs of Bosnian dishes (Sead Emrić) disclosed in the mystic atmosphere … Ninety nine ceramic pots from clay (Halide Emrić), each in a different color representing the ninety nine names of God, which is reflected in man … Just as an ornament or a motive stamped in the skin (Ćazima Hadžimejlić) representing crystallized soul converted into illuminated gold, as well as the motif in landscape that puts together layers of calligraphic kufi form letters (Meliha Teparić). Boldly transposed from negative to positive form, toying with the level of meaning and interpretation thus indicating the overall complexity of all the things around us and their primary, inner dimension of existence …
