You have to watch this....

Seriously. This is the most amazing video. A friend of mine showed it to me last night and I couldn't peel my eyes from the screen. Such a beautiful, emotional, and insanely talented piece of work. It's amazing how her hands move the sand...You have to watch at least for a minute...

Background info...The gorgeous artist is named Kseniya Simonova and in this piece she's touching on World War II and the Germany invasion of the Soviet Union....

    That is just amazing! I wish i had understood the song and the true meaning behind it. I didn't really understand why the audience was crying and I wish I did because what she was doing was unbelieveable.
