You must see this video.  It is unbelievable! 

Here is the story of what she is showing.  The link is at the end:

          This 
          video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s 
          Got Talent",  Kseniya 
          Simonova, 24,  drawing a series of 
          pictures on an illuminated
          sand table showing how 
          ordinary people were affected by the
          German invasion during 
          World War II.  Her talent, 
          which
          admittedly is a strange 
          one, is mesmeric to watch.

The 
          images, projected onto a large screen, moved many 
          in
          the 
          audience to tears and she won the top prize of about 
          £75,000. 

She 
          begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting 
          holding
          hands 
          on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes 
          appear
          and 
          the happy scene is obliterated. 

It 
          is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a 
          baby
          arrives 
          and the woman smiles again. Once again war 
          returns
          and 
          Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which 
          a
          young 
          woman’s face appears. 

She 
          quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled 
          and
          sad, 
          before the image turns into a monument to an
          Unknown 
          Soldier.. 

This 
          outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if 
          the
          viewer 
          is looking out on the monument from within a 
          house. 

In 
          the final scene, a mother and child appear inside 
          and
          a 
          man standing outside, with his hands pressed 
          against
          the 
          glass, saying goodbye. 

The 
          Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, 
          resulted
          in 
          one in four of the population being killed with eight 
          to
          11 
          million deaths out of a population of 42 
          million.
