"September,11th" by Kseniya Simonova - Ксения Симонова "11 сентября"

This sand story was created by the famous sand artist from Ukraine Kseniya Simonova, winner of "Ukraine's got talent". This sand film is devoted to the memory of the tragedy of 11th September which was a great shock for the artist.
Kseniya Simonova:"When it happened I was a schoolgirl and was a participant of a special Language programm for Ukrainian children who wanted to study the language in the USA. New York was one of the possible places we could be sent. On September,11th I came home after school and turned on TV. I couldn't believe my eyes. The only thing I was thinking about was: "There are PEOPLE inside! Hundreds of people - someone's children, wifes, husbands, someone's parents!" I was very young but the sympathy I felt while watching that remained in me forever. At that time I never could think I will ever be a sand artist and will have such a strong visual instrument in my hands. Thank God, I have one. With a help of sand I created a small film. This is how I feel about 11th September. With all my heart I am against terrorism. I am longing for peace. Though I am a Ukrainian woman, the New York tragedy is my tragedy and the grief of all our planet.They say it has changed the world, it has broken stability and calmness. But I believe the world has also changed on the other side - we understood how precious is the Peace, we studied how much we love each other and will do all we can to avoid terror. By art or by our own examples - by all means - show them that LOVE IS STRONGER than horror! PEACE!"
All team of Kseniya Simonova shows the greatest sympathy to all who suffered on 11.09.2001 and to all American people. Things will change. The sorrow will remain but the evel will melt with the Sun of Kindness.

Эта песочная история была создана мастером песочной анимации из Украины, Ксенией Симоновой и её творческой группой. Ксения является противником терроризма и этот маленький фильм она посвятила жертвам трагедии и всем жителям США, глубоко сопереживая их горю.
Ксения Симонова: "Я давно хотела создать что-то, что выражало бы мои мысли и чувства по поводу этой страшной трагедии. Не важно, что мы в Украине, а Америка далеко. Это наше общее горе, урок для всего человечества - мы должны ценить и беречь Мир и друг друга. 11 сентября 2001 года должно было сломить не только американцев, но всех людей,поселить в наших сердцах ужас и постоянный страх, но этого не произошло. Потому что мы--Люди, и, несмотря ни на что, умеем любить и сочувствовать - искренне, по-настоящему.
Мне было очень жаль совершенно незнакомых мне мужчин и женщин, живущих на другом конце Земли. И вместе с тем, внутри меня было понимание того, что никакой терроризм, никакая жестокость не убьют в нас людей, не сделают из нас ни эгоистов, ни бесчувственных циников. И пока мы умеем сочувствовать и жалеть - мы сильнее всех террористов мира. Будем молиться и верить в то, что этот ужас никогда не повторится. Я хочу в это верить и я верю."

Thank you very much for watching and commenting. That is very importaint for me and my team cause this work was a new experience for us - both in the artistic and dramatic aspects. Frankly speaking I don't care whether that was a terroristic act or a political game. Real people suffered.This is the story about that pain, pain of lost, and we hope that there will be no more horror like that with such a number of victims - in any part of our planet.

Sencerely, Kseniya Simonova and Simonova.TV Team

Oh wow! :O That was seriously breath taking! :O You're amaizing! ♥

@mocfred Oh, I see... I misunderstood you.

I would say from the size of the waves, the coarseness and color of the sand and the proximity of her home to the Black Sea that it is more than likely, the Black see.

[mocfred]

@rentacopter it's ok. ive just wanted to known is that Black Sea? все в порядку

[rentacopter]

@mocfred I was not going to say anything but you have my curiosity peaked.

What would you have suggested would have been a good "background' or setting?

And what was wrong with using the black sea? I thought it was fine.

[mocfred]

2:00 Black Sea in background?

[rentacopter]

@dayati OK!

You have no hope of it. That's OK! Now were getting somewhere.

No reason to take offense at the art, much less insult the artist.

That's what I have been trying to say... over and over.

I think we can call it a truce.

[dayati]

@rentacopter Dude....the "hope" of it is what I mean. How can you misunderstand me so many times over and over. Please read more carefully.

[rentacopter]

@dayati You see... That's where you got it wrong!

There was NEVER world peace before 9-11 and the artist never implied that there was!

None of us ever believed world peace existed. It is only the (hope) of it.

[dayati]

@rentacopter Yes, my interpretation is skewed. It's skewed because I had a different life experience. End of story.

Was there world peace before 9/11? For millions of kids, yes. For millions of kids, no.

That's my point.

Do you understand?

[rentacopter]

@dayati I agree the towers are represented in the blocks. It's your interpretation that is skewed.

Do you think the rest of the world lives in a bubble? We are all quite aware of what is going on in the world.

I only see you taking offense to the way she told her story. The harsh criticism came from something you brought with YOU... Something YOU carry.

Not something she did.

Her work was Great!

These comments diminish it's meaning for all those who come after you.

[dayati]

@rentacopter Come on man...the blocks represent the Towers.

And I don't hate America, I hate war.
