Ukraine's Got Talent winner brings nation to tears
"About 13 million people watched Kseniya Simonova win Ukraine's Got Talent live with an extraordinary demonstration of "sand art". Most of them, according to reports, were weeping. The judges and studio audience sobbed throughout. Ukraine, where a fraught presidential election campaign is under way ahead of a vote in January 2010, is enduring a deepening financial crisis and the raw, sentimental depiction of Ukraine's suffering, even drawn in sand, was too much."
It really is worth seeing. Make sure you read this article first, then watch the YouTube Clip. Sand as a medium is an interesting idea. Reminds me of the sand mandalas so popular with Buddhists.
