Read the explanation before watching the video, it's worth 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 innfour 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.
