The painting represents the idea of cyclical passage of time. It is a representation that involves several elements which are typically embedded in post-Soviet Central Asian mentality, such as the popular carousel, an object associated with youth. The rotational movement denotes the lack of control over the passage of time and over the circle of life. The top of the carousel denotes identity, as it represents the "Shanyrak", a structural object of…
the yurt, which became a major cultural symbol for the once-nomadic cultures.
