seMazen (2002) is a 3D animation by Genco Gulan with a runtime of 2 minutes and 37 seconds. The video

features a computer generated model of the artist, dressed in traditional Sufi clothing, wieved from the inside and

outside the head in a constant loop which is unified with a continious count to 41, in English and Turkish. The number 41

has a significance, as it is the number of times the God's name must be repeated in dhikr.

Gulan states that he was influenced by the software he used for creating 3D models. Software reminded him the constant

revolve of the Whirling Dervishes and the tides between the inner and outer self.
