As per a report by BBC, the artist dedicated 16 hours daily to complete the intricate sculptures, each “smaller than a full stop". To ensure precision, he worked between heartbeats, holding his breath to minimize any potential disruptions. Describing the process as akin to “trying to put a pin through a bubble without bursting the bubble," Wigan showcased his exceptional skill and patience in creating this minute masterpiece.
Accompanying the images, Willard Wigan penned a lengthy caption that read, “Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle: Bringing Light, Hope, and Peace to the World. Just in time for Christmas, I created a magical microscopic Christmas masterpiece for the whole world to see. The Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle is my latest microscopic sculpture. The micro sculpture was made for everyone, bringing a glimmer of magical light, hope, and peace to the hearts and minds of everyone around the world this Christmas."
“This handmade microscopic sculpture was painstakingly created and intensely pieced together under a powerful microscope. Whilst juggling several other micro sculptures for next year’s Disappearing World exhibitions, I spent hundreds of extra hours to complete the piece, working between heartbeats, working through the night, and intensely focusing and concentrating to finish the piece just in time for Christmas," he added.
The artist further wrote, “The camels and kings are microscopic fragments of nylon, the star is made from micro fragments of glitter to make it shine and 24-carat gold was used for the crowns. I painted the micro sculpture using one of my eyelashes as a paintbrush. I hope this piece brings blessing Light, Hope, and peace to the whole world this Christmas."
