    Amazing Youtube video

    The winner of "Ukraine's Got Talent", a 24 year old woman named Kseniya Simonova, is shown drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table. Her art tells a story of how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during WWII.

    It is a bit long but well worth the time. Very moving.

    Very cool. I'm amazed at how fast she can work and the clarity of her images, despite being drawn with sand. Her performance is very passionate and evocative, too.

      She's like the Ukrainian Bob Ross, except her trees aren't as happy.

        That actually choked me up. It's the most beautiful art I've seen in a long time.

            I'm totally fascinated by people who make this kind of transient art (is that the right term?) Art that is temporary. There's a movie called RIVERS AND TIDES that follows this guy around who makes art using things he finds in nature and are not built to last very long.

            Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

            None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

            I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

              Art is so amazing. I understood none of the video, yet in a way I think I understood all it (as much as possible for someone who never actually lived through the war could).

              Thanks for sharing FN.

                            That was definitely more than 6 feet.

                              OK. Maybe 10 ft.
