How to code div/object rotating around another object/div with 3d illusion

I've come to a technical and intellectual impasse. The problem is: I want text to encircle an image and appear like its moving infront of behind the image while the image remains fixed/static.

So far the 1) text that is rotating is nested in side a div=loader. 2) Each letter has its own div so the deg and rotation works and 3) the animation set rotates all the letters so it appears they are encircling. I want the last div within the overall structure to not move at all.

Here's the code

body {
  background-color: #333;
}

:root {
  font-size: calc(16px + (24 - 16)*(100vw - 320px)/ (1280 - 320));
}

.preloader {
  display: flex;
}

{
  background: #313030;
  color: #D3E2C0;
  font: 1em Dosis, sans-serif;
  height: 100vh;
  line-height: 1.5;
  perspective: 40em;
}

.preloader {
  animation: tiltSpin 10s linear infinite;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  margin: auto;
  width: 17em;
  height: 17em;
}

.preloader,
.preloader__ring {
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
}

.preloader__ring {
  animation-name: spin;
  animation-duration: 70s;
  animation-timing-function: inherit;
  animation-iteration-count: inherit;
  font-size: 2em;
  position: relative;
  top: 100px;
  height: 3rem;
  width: 1.5rem;
}

.phone_static {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 70%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}


}
.preloader__ring:nth-child(even) {

What it looks like

i've tried putting the inside a and affecting the class by using position:fixed and 2) also tried simply creating an animation with deg going the opposite direction with a duration that's quite long but, no luck.

So far i can only get the or "phone_static" div to rotate in the opposite direction but not stop.

Solution

The phone need to be outside the animated container and you have to add transform-style: preserve-3d; to the body element as well. Then all you have to do is to adjust the position of the image.

Here is a non-perfect example that you can easily adjust

body {
  background-color: #333;
}

:root {
  font-size: calc(16px + (24 - 16)*(100vw - 320px)/ (1280 - 320));
}

.preloader {
  display: flex;
}

.preloader {
  animation: tiltSpin 10s linear infinite;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  margin: auto;
  width: 17em;
  height: 17em;
}

body,
.preloader,
.preloader__ring {
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
}

.preloader__ring {
  animation-name: spin;
  animation-duration: 70s;
  animation-timing-function: inherit;
  animation-iteration-count: inherit;
  font-size: 2em;
  position: relative;
  top: 100px;
  height: 3rem;
  width: 1.5rem;
}

.phone_static {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-39%, -13%);
}
.phone_static img {
  width: 250px;
  height: auto;
}


}
.preloader__ring:nth-child(even) {
  animation-direction: forward;

.second_preloader:nth-child(even) {
