In her recent projects Uriya exploits as a subject a horse skull and asyk* bones as an innovative art medium, as both are deeply rooted to nomadic culture and at its current state symbolise it’s fading present. Hundreds of asyks were sent to the artist by her relatives from all over vast Kazakhstan as a prove of the power and importance of strong ties between relatives in Kazakhstan.
