Tengri: The Sky Glyph

Tengri: The Sky Glyphs Tengri: The Sky Glyphs is an AR experience that reimagines Tengri, the ancient nomadic sky god, as a series of abstract glyphs. These symbols, inspired by my previous work on glyphs, serve as portals connecting the earth to the heavens. Each glyph reflects Tengri’s essence, inviting users to explore themes of balance, guidance, and the deep connection between humanity and the cosmos. Designed for large, open spaces free of obstacles—ideally at the top of a mountain or expansive plain—the experience captures the vastness of Tengri’s domain. Placing the glyphs in these settings allows participants to fully immerse themselves in Tengri’s mythology while feeling the expansive presence of the sky. As users interact with the AR glyphs, they uncover layers of meaning, reflecting on how ancient nomadic wisdom can resonate in the modern world. The creativity and originality of this project lie in transforming Tengri’s spiritual symbolism into a site-specific, interactive digital experience. Its message and user experience inspire awe and mindfulness by connecting participants to nature and ancient traditions, while its impact highlights the preservation and reinterpretation of Tengriism, fostering a renewed appreciation for nomadic culture and spirituality.
