September 29 What a Great Artist n a Great Artwork - Sand Animation I’ve never known sand animation before and never seen any clips that can take my breath away until watching this clip posted in youtube.
ATTENTION!!!! PLEASE TURN ON THE SPEAKER SO THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING ART ^_________^
I searched for some background on this:
This incredible “sand animation” is performed by the 2009 winner of the Ukraine “Got Talent” television series, Kseniya Simonova. Apparently, it is telling the story of life during WWII, which would explain the emotional reactions of some of the audience. What she depicts is love and war, set amidst the turmoil of The Great Patriotic War (WWII). Ukraine was probably the area most devastated in the war, even more than Germany. It was a conflict that saw nearly one in four Ukrainians killed. Ukraine represented almost 20 percent of all the casualities suffered during WWII. The scene ends in 1945, with the death of Hitler and the end of a long war.
The text at the end where they’re staring at the sailor’s ghost says: “You are always nearby”.
Another explanation of this AMAZAING artwork is :
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”. Here are other two clips of the final round which are also definitely touching!!!
