The Khazars, a multiconfessional kingdom related to the artist’s ancestry are invoked in this project as exemplary of both the biggest and most influential Jewish polity in history, as well as its multi-ethnic and multi-religious tolerance, without parallel in history. They originated in nomadic tribes worshipping the titular sky god Tengri.
