Tengri Oasis
Tengri Camp — Almaty, Kazakhstan

About
Tengri Oasis is represented by a monumental reclining camel inspired by the nomadic cultures of Central Asia. Its three humps are formed by the exposed wooden frameworks of traditional yurts, transformed into transparent sculptural elements that reveal the geometry and craftsmanship of nomadic architecture. Three Altybaqan swings stand beside the camel, referencing a traditional space for gathering, storytelling, and celebration. Rooted in the values of freedom, hospitality, and connection to nature, the installation reimagines the ancient nomadic journey as an Axis Mundi—a symbolic link between earth and sky, movement and stillness, individual experience and collective belonging.
