Rotate and twist several elements or shapes

[kirillus_]

Hi, I'm wondering on how to make this effect. I want to make lines have similar rotation effect. Is there any option in AI to twist a specific area and become similar result (img below)? If not, what tool can help me to achieve it? Thank you!

This one uses blends. There are different methods.

You need: Object > Blend > Make

Effect > Distort&Transform> Transform

Object > Transform > Transform again

Window > Appearance

I have estimated the values: distance and rotation. You need to calculate them.
