Kseniya Simonova – You are always near

Many of you have already seen this, but a friend, Matt Ivey brought this to my attention and it is truly inspiring.

Kseniya Simonova is an incredible artist who won Ukraine’s version of “America’s Got Talent.” She uses a giant light box, music, imagination and “sand painting” skills to interpret Germany’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

James Donaghy wrote in the Guardian: “If we take it that art’s purpose is to illuminate the world in a new way, provoke a reaction, somehow alter the consciousness of the viewer, then her work is a huge success.”
