This is absolutely amazing!
Read the story first & then watch, it is brilliant. You need to read first or you won't understand it.
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."
