Sometimes you see something, and it’s not easy to explain how or why you are drawn to it. This video is one of those things. The simple explanation is that it is part of a television genre called “(Some Country) Has Talent.” I’m sure you’ve all seen them – Britain’s Got Talent, America’s Got Talent — they are everywhere. Well this is from Ukraine’s Got Talent.

This is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The young lady, Kseniya Simonova, draws with her hands, using sand. But she doesn’t create one piece. She morphs her creation, from sitting on a park bench, to portraits, to a kind of Guenica, to Mother Theresa, to Christmas – to whatever you see actually.

I wish I knew what she wrote at the end, but I assume it is in Ukrainian, or whatever her native tongue is… I know the video is eight minutes, but trust me, it’s worth spending those few minutes to see what she does. Can you imagine this happening on US or Canadian television? I doubt it.

I hope you enjoy it.
