While most would use a brush, paint, and a canvas to make flowing lines that later form recognizable shapes and people Kseniya Simonova brings new perspective with her sand paintings. This famous Ukrainian artist uses sand and her fingers to create detailed faces, hands, and landscapes that flash across a lit table. Her art is not still, rather it flashes across the table as she skillfully moves her fingers to transform one image to the next, narating a story never told quite the same way. She was awarded $110,000 in the popular show Ukraine's Got Talent in 2009. Since then, she has been honored by many political figures including the Supreme Council of Crimea and the mayor of her own town. But most importantly she has honored the world with her inspirational talent and love of history.

I thought this was really amazing, the lighted board behind it really makes it look kind of surreal. -Mary Glatt
