The rose occupies a central place in my work around art and Sufi spirituality.
Every Moment of Sufi Dance Appearing to me as a Celebration and a Deep prayer, it seems essential to me to keep the ritual alive. The rose water, as a rite, marks the passage from the earthly world to the heavenly world.
The symbolism of the rose can be found in the mystical poetry Persian, in which it represents the mysteries and beauty of the spiritual path. If the flowers symbolize the world of the soul, the rose embodies the life path of the human being.
The rose also represents fullness. During the spiritual journey towards oneness, obstacles and difficulties represented by the thorns of the rose must be overcome. Indeed, there can be no spiritual progression without trial. The pain, the waiting, the separation or loss of a loved one are so many thorns encountered during the quest, yet necessary to encounter the state of grace.
It is by seeking one’s own truth that one can move forward and flourish in the mystical quest, in spite of the trials of this long path.
Our heart conceals in him a beauty and purity similar to those of the rose. It is during existence that its perfume is revealed, invisible but perceptible by those who know how to feel its presence.

During the ritual of Samâ, the Samâzan enters a deep state of spiritual listening that connects him to the Cosmos.

The rose water poured into the heart of the practitioner opens the door to the soul and indicates the way back. Thus the soul takes refuge in the perfume of the rose. It reveals its presence and becomes visible in the invisible.
In Sufism, this sacred plant represents the mystical intoxication called 'colorless wine'.
