Contestant on Ukraine's Got Talent demonstrates the art of sand painting - hard to describe, but not to be missed.

Thanks to debgeisler for the link!

That is very good.

Based upon the audience reaction, the scenes she painted must be very significant to them.

I sort of grew up with sand painting as an art form. I saw this a couple of times as a child.

Near as I can tell, it's a compressed history of WW2.

The most fantastic thing I've ever seen!

I couldn't listen to this but even without the sound, I was emotional at 5 minutes... Tomorrow, I can watch it again, with the sound. I hope it is narration...

Glad you liked it! Accompaniment was musical, but that may be just as well since we wouldn't be able to understand the narration anyway...

Wow, amazing. I wish I knew more about what was going on or the words she wrote at the end...

Hmmm...I love being nerdy: what the sand painting references...

Neat!

Near as I could tell it's a history of WW2. I saw a comment saying that the end reads "always with us," but I don't know whether it's accurate.
