Forget breakdancing and all that susan boyle crap...

Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent." She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

Wow, even without quite understand the significance of all of the imagies that is simply superb.
Even the music choise was spot on.
I'm not an arty type but I would love to see that being performed live as it had me totally enthralled.

Amazing talent.

Amazing! What artistic skill. I can't get over that bit at 2:00 where she just seems to flick her hands over the sand and 5 people appear.

for people who can't see it, (and have a you tube account) go to "my account"
look at the bottom, and set current location to worldwide.


As for the clip, now that is amazing.

That seems to be the artist's youtube channel
