. . .Kseniya Simonova was the winner of Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent." So what was her talent? Creating a sand painting of her interpretation of Germany's occupation of the Ukraine in WWII.
To be honest, I read about this "sand painting" talent and thought it sounded totally dumb, but now that I have lots more free time, I decided to check out the video. Let me tell you, it was profoundly moving, and the girl definitely has a unique sense of talent. The audience, and one judge, were brought to tears. As you watch her create her vision with music in the background, at times sweet, strong, vicious, her painting moves through a tragic sequence of events.
In the eight-and-a-half-minute clip, set to an appropriately dramatic score, the young woman deftly paints the story, through constantly changing images using sand and a light table, of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II.
I'm not sure what Kseniya can do with type of talent in the future, but it was a winner on "Ukraine's Got Talent."
