Kazakhstan is something complex and multifaceted.
Our system of ornamental art contains a special kind of abstract thinking that generates hundreds of semantic variations.
Values and norms are shifting, the absurdity of modernity has been added to the traditional "must".
So it is with everything else - Islam and Tengrianism, the creative class and the masses, traditions and modernity, and so on.
Ornamentalism expresses the conceptual thinking of nomadic peoples, their world outlook and world order. In these shooting, we proceed from the hidden symbols and meanings that reflect the Kazakh reality.
