Is it possible to express grief and hope through sand?
Here is an example of a woman who has 'performed' a set of pictures placed to popular and patriotic music of Ukraine. Please disregard the setting (one of those "India's Got Talent" style TV tamashas) and look at how she is able to express the pain of war - namely the World War II invasion of Ukraine (part of Soviet Union at the time) by the Germans.
The words at the end say: "you are always in my heart."
Apparently the words to one of the songs goes:
"Sometimes it seems to me, that soldiers who didn't return home, do not lie in beds-of-honor, they turned into white cranes"
How much art can touch lives. Would that we would see more stories told. Sixty years on the images still haunt - because they are part of the deepest experiences that people go through in war - loss, confusion, hope, memories...
How many others have never had their story told, have never had a song written about them.
