This will leave you speechless! The artist tells a story that might soon be an American story. May God have mercy. -- 2Chronicles 7:14 --

Holy Cow!!! That was awesome.
Hearing “Nothing Else Matters” by orchestra was pretty cool as well
Beautiful ... sic transit gloria mundi ....
Thanks! I love “The Government Can” and have been
sending out to all of my peeps. It has even come
back to me a few times.
I probably should have included a “get a tissue” alert.
Thanks for stopping by to watch.
May the Lord bless you and fill you with His power, wisdom
and courage for the coming days.
Wow.
Thank you for the links,she was quite amazing....
Thank you. That was nice.
First time through, I didn’t realize she was using sand at first.

I’ve seen this kind of art only once before, it’s amazing. A guy named Jose Castillo has a bunch of sand art on youtube. Here’s his art to Lee Greenwood’s song, God Bless the USA.

she writes something like you will always be near at the end of the first one.
I caught that too. I was thinking, "is that Metallica"? Sure was, but I wish I understood the story a bit better. It was indeed amazing and unique.
Kseniya Simonova, the winner of Ukraine’s got talent, has become a YouTube phenomenon by telling stories through sand animation. ...
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”.

Thank you very much for the explanation.
Thank you... It’s transfixing. Better than a movie even.
