Here is an extraordinary talent at work telling a vivid story via sandpainting to a live audience. She is Kseniya Simonova, a contestant in a Ukrainian version of a "Got Talent" reality TV show. The link provides the background information and a link to a YouTube video of her performance. The sandpainting tells the story of Germany's defeat of the Ukraine in WWII. Turn on the sound because it is an important element of the story.

This video has had a lot of traction on the Internet, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth a look (several minutes).
