> 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’s 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 ....
