Sand Art

A friend of mine sent this to me through e-mail.

It's so amazing.

Had to share it with you guys :D

Take a look !!

What she depicts is love and war, set amidst the turmoil of The Great
Patriotic War, or as we call it in America, WWII. Ukraine was probably
the area most devastated in the war, even more than Germany. It was a
conflict that saw nearly one in four Ukrainians killed. A population
of almost 42 million lost between 8 and 11 million people, depending
on which estimate one references. Ukraine represented almost 20
percent of all the causalities suffered during WWII. And that was
after Stalin had killed millions during the manufactured famines
before the war. It to this day touches every Ukrainian. That's the
context of war memory that Kseniya reaches out to.

The sand art of Kseniya is set to music that reflects the tone of what
she is trying to project, and the combined effect works very well.

Sand animators use simple grains of sand to tell a story, in a way many

people haven't seen before. What Kseniya Seminova does in a few short minutes

is all the more memorable because it is so fleeting. Once she is finished,

the grains of sand go back into containers and the art is swept away.

Don't you think she's got good looks as well? :O

Beauty and talent combine.
