Ukraine’s Story in Living Art…

This is perhaps one of the most extraordinary ‘Living Art’ pieces I’ve ever witnessed.

This video shows the winner of Ukraine’s ‘Got Talent’, Kseniya Simonova, 24 year old creator of 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, is unique and mesmerizing to watch.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears.

Her story, which tells of 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.

Astounding! Consider taking the 8 and a half minutes to watch this. You might thank your lucky stars you did. Perspective is nearly everything!

Our world is filled with the most extraordinary and wonderful people, if we’ll but open our eyes and then…..take the time to look within, as there is magic inside all of us!
