People from every culture visit Hz. Mevlâna, and very emotional moments are experienced during the whirling dervish ceremonies. This truly creates an impressive example of unity and tolerance. It is very precious for us that the works of my students are exhibited in such an important week. We are also happy to contribute, even in a small way, to Mevlâna's love-filled world during this week.” “Drawing Inspiration from the Masnavi, I Have Created Numerous Works.” In the art of calligraphy, Öksüz emphasized the significant impact of works on individuals, noting that a work can evoke striking feelings even without knowing its message and meaning. He stated that calligraphy has been one of his greatest passions throughout his life, and his mind has always been immersed in it day and night. Öksüz shared that he practiced playing the ney in the monastery from 1971 to 1973. He mentioned that for many years, he has visited the Mevlâna Shrine at specific times, contemplating the museum. Öksüz revealed that he has written numerous works inspired by the Masnavi, and the words of Hz. Mevlâna, "As long as my soul is in my body, I am the servant of the Qur'an, the dust of the chosen Muhammad's path. If anyone narrates something other than my words, I am weary of them and weary of that speech," have always served as a guide when creating his works.
