It’s crazy to think this was 15 years ago and I still think about this video at 25 when I was probably only 12 when I first saw it. It’s a reminder of how great the world can be with a simple passion to express emotion and thoughts in creative ways to touch others. I will forever remember this!
Hi, This kind of messages are exciting me the most, To see how my work effects other people's life. Thank you for sharing it with me and I hope you'll enjoy my other videos. Stay in touch, Ilana
Hi! I love your video & your work in general. Can you please tell me the meaning of this video? I know its about friendship, but whose? Is it friendship with God? Family? Neighbour? Me? U? WHO!?!?! I need to know 😭
I have watched thousands of video on you tube.... never commented on any of them... this one has compelled me to....... i am completely speechless.... its' like wow, i have watched this more than ... lost track of time.... still watching it...... amazing..... spread peace rather than war...... real talent......
この作品昔wiiの間で配信されてたと思うんだけど、調べても全然見つからなくて、やっと見つけられた！ 小学校の時に見て、とっても素敵なストーリーだなって記憶に残ってたからまた見れてよかった(*´艸`) I really appreciate you for the encounter with this video.
I was 11 years old in 5th grade when my elementary teacher showed me your beautiful work.. now I’m 25, and I’m so happy to see you continued on with your amazing skills, much love and appreciation to you!
Quite apart from this lady's extraordinary talent, which is self-evident, she must be SUPREMELY self-confident. To work at that speed, and with those smooth, gracefully elegant gestures, she must have the essence of this remarkable craft imprinted on her mind and soul. This is DELIGHTFUL to watch.
I can still remember the first time I saw this video. My math teacher in HS decided to end lass a bit early and showed this to us. The entire class, normally loud and talking when no working on classwork, went silent and seemed in awe...we even stayed a few seonds after the bell to make sure we ddnt miss a thing, and I've come back to this video many many times,even showed my parents. You surely have a unique and wonderful talent, and I'm going to check out your other videos soon :D
IN PRAISE OF THE ARTIST AND THE ART The image appears at a flick of the fingers, then dissolves with a wipe of the hands. Pictures emerge like magic to arrest emotions, as elusive and intimate as a daydream. The result is soul-stirring-the rational mind melts away to merge into the free-flowing emotive nuance. Few arts can visually capture the intrinsic spontaneity and transiency that bespeak of the nature of life’s experience. Like a mesmerizing mantra-the sound is transient but the invocation reverberates.
Thank you so much. I never had such a wonderful comment. You must be a very special and generous person. (And talented as well. ) I’ll keep your words forever. A big big huge from me. Ilana
@@sandfantasy2008 Dear IIana: I am glad that my comment strikes a chord in your heart. Being a visual artist, I am especially interested in others’ talent in telling the essence of life. I first chanced upon this video a few years back, and it left a strong impression on me. The skilful execution of your performance and the emotive imageries prompt me to write something to show appreciation, and in the wish to introduce more values to this rare art. Indeed, the fluid screenplay and story-telling capacity of sand art are full of metaphorical imageries aptly echoing the dramatic elements in life. I wish you continual fulfilment in your passion for this art. Nelson Leung facebook.com/nelson.leung.180 www.flickr.com/photos/148561683@N05/
This totally blew my mind. such skill and precision in order to present a seemless transition from one episode to the next.you're an inspiration to other artists. Thank you
It is so fantastic how sand art can tell such a dramatic and touching story with such a simple concept sand an a light box, absolutely amazing what a great talent to have. Thumbs up if you agree
Thank you for sharing your talents. Very captivating and so I would step forward to say you are awesome. Keep up the great work. May our creator continue to bless us.
I've been watching this video all along the summer of 2010, after I finished school. I thought I was all alone, because I had absolutely no friends, and this still gave me hope. The September that came, my life changed in university and I got new, real friends. My life became better. Today I randomly remembered this video and came back to relive the emotion of the day. Thank you for this beautiful video.
True friends are few and far between. They exist,I know, but there not enough... true people are fading from the world. I hope to desire to care to have a friend someday... as for now I'll be what I am ....a solitary man. It hurts... but I am blessed in the end. This music,right in these moments where I listen to it... I close my eyes and I can feel bliss in all its glory and purity. Ahhh to hear sweet serenity unhindered by others troubles... let them be thier own and leave me listen in peace!
As a professional artist I know how to apreciate such a professional work. It is not easy and you need great sensitivity, awarenes and playfulnes to do this. Thank you so much
He Who created universe and its diverse was there when Illana was born, and none would challenge the purity that The Creator has blessed her with. Some times your art Illana makes me cry with joy. I would love you go on enjoying make us onjoying your every substabce of art.
It is like a rare blossom in the tree of Fantastic Art rich and inspiring. Every gesture is inviting and soothing to the spirit with such unfolding tenderness and intimacy surpassing the other conventional forms and approaches. It is a great act of embracing humanity with this dynamic form of superb expression. Embrace this talent and rejoice. Love and respect to you from Canada.
Truly fantastic, I've never seen any form of art that impressed me that much... Tears even came to my eyes, and for this is extremely rare. Plus the song fitted perfectly. Congratulations Ilana Yahav, you truly are a great artist.

I remember being a little kid, seeing this at school. That was so long ago. This video made me melancholy.
Same! I remember my parents showing this to me when I was a boy more than 10 years ago
This is more than art, this is a story, a message
Thanks for sending this, Rick. You can't imagine how timely it was. I feel a lot better now!
Ilana: bless you! Just beautiful!
The place where she wipes out the sand tears is MAGICAL. It gave me goosebumps.
A spellbinding and absolutely fascinating artform. Brilliant!!
It is amazing how sand can touch us and move us. It makes me smile with hope to another day. Friendship connects us all, individually and as a whole.
Im 18 now and my teacher used to play this for us in elementary school after recess to calm us down 😭😭😭
this is one of the few times ive seen an artist and thought, "that's a really gifted individual"
Very impressive...addicted..really gods gift u hv..
It's amazing how some people are so artistic, imiginative and creative.

I remember watching this when I was 4, I'm 11 now
This makes me happy to be a human being - we can do such amazing things!
wow. we watched this in Communications class (we've already finished everything else, haha), and I was like, "oOo I want to do that"

Dear Tomas,
Your warm words moved me deeply!
You must be a generous and kind person .
I wish our paths will cross one day.
A big hug from me.
if people dislike this than they have no heart!
Wow!! Amazing how so much can be said without saying a word. The music is mesmerizing, and pulls you in. It's almost serene to watch.
Dear Terrance, Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. I wish you a good health and happiness.
Ilana
@@sandfantasy2008 You’re very welcome. I wish you all the best as well. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I can still remember the first time I saw this video. My math teacher in HS decided to end lass a bit early and showed this to us.

I am amazed, all you have to do is listen and watch and the art crosses all borders. So beautifully haunting.

Oml Ikr?
Squishy The Vampire song
