I got this in my email and thought of sharing with you who hasnt seen it yet. Look at how her fingers dance away drawing out...simply mesmerizing! The storyline is presented below this clip, but try have a look and figure out first what she was drawing yea? If you cant, then read the storyline and watch again..
This video shows the winner of 2009s "Ukraines 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 womans 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 womans 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 theres surely no bigger compliment."

Question of the day:
How do you tell the difference between a fake and real feelings? Try answer that. And share it with me if you're generous enough.
Happy weekend all....have a good one!
