Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who creates sand drawings in front of audiences. Here she is performing on Ukraine's Got Talent: Here, she recounts Germany conquering Ukraine in the second world war. She brings calm, then conflict. A couple on a bench become a woman's face; a peaceful walkway becomes a conflagration; a weeping widow morphs into an obelisk for an unknown soldier. Simonova looks like some vengeful Old Testament deity as she destroys then recreates her scenes - with deft strokes, sprinkles and sweeps she keeps the narrative going. She moves the judges to tears as she subtitles the final scene "you are always near". Kseniya Simonova's simple sand animation has captured a universal chord for the Ukraine where emotion runs deep entrenched in a war that has generational wounds. You don't have to understand the culture, the humbling of the people will touch you. The artist Kseniya Simonova won the competition and justly so. If you are able to bring out emotion like that and bring out tears in all, your message was well received and deserve to win.
