Microscopic Artist Willard Wigan Creates Paris 2024 Olympic Mascot In The Eye Of A Needle. The world’s top microscopic artist Dr. Willard Wigan MBE has once again showcased his unparalleled talent by creating a tribute to the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympic Games. This extraordinary microscopic masterpiece features the Paris 2024 Mascot, the Olympic Phryge, meticulously crafted by hand and standing within the eye of a needle. Willard's tribute sculpture is the world’s smallest microscopic mascot in Olympic history featuring microscopic details that include the Olympic rings, the French flag, and a gold medal the size of a human blood cell. Crafted with 24-karat gold, the logo on the mascot's chest adds a touch of luxury to this minuscule masterpiece. The sculpture, aptly named Micro Mascot Phryge in the Eye of a Needle 2024, reflects Willard's admiration for the Olympic Games and their celebration of diversity, unity, and athletic excellence. The mascot is inspired by the historical and symbolic significance of the Phrygian cap and Willard's creation honours the athletes and countries participating in the 2024 Olympics. "I love the Olympic Games. The diversity and the bringing together of cultures and athletes from all over the world resonate with my belief that we all have our small part to play and should be celebrated," he says. The sculpture is his latest sporting-themed sculpture as he has previously honoured Tyson Fury, Cristiano Ronaldo, and British Olympic heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson with his incredible skills.
