This series illustrates my love for symbols and ornaments. Here I depict four elements: water, air, earth, and fire, which I show through ornaments taken from Kazakh ornamental culture and also my own ornaments. In each work, I try to show the essence of every element and its importance for all living creatures on Earth.
