This is one of the most amazing things you'll ever see

A sand artist has won Ukraine's Got Talent. Yes, a sand artist. It's amazing.



Media Guardian describe what she is drawing:
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".


(one wonders what the result would be if she took on the medium of porn to take carnal pleasures to a whole new level of art)
