Amazing Talent Drawing With Sand

This is just amazing!!
 
 Don't dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . . first read it
 properly.
 
 This video shows the winner of "Ukraine's Got Talent",  Kseniya
 Simonova, 24,  drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table
 showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during
 World War II.  Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is
 mesmeric to watch.
 
 The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the
 audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.
 
 She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding
 hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the
 happy scene is obliterated.
 
 It is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby arrives
 and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova
 throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman's face appears.
 
 She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad,
 before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.
 
 This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer
 is looking out on the monument from within a house.
 
 In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man
> standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying
 goodbye.
 
 The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in
 one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million
 deaths out of a population of 42 million.
 
 Kseniya Simonova says:
 "I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and
 pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The
 art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings
 some audience members to tears. And there's surely no bigger
 compliment."
 
 Please take time out to see this amazing piece of art.
