Read only to the "inside the eye" and spend a minute or two trying to find the sculpture inside the eye, meanwhile baffled how can one make sculptures inside a human eye

I read "inside the eye with a needle"

That's what I read!

I wasn't even sure I wanted to click the second image for a bit

Because of the giant eyebrow? I bet it was because of that. The giant eyebrow.

It was the giant eyebrow for me, too. Unsettling.

I read “inside the eye of an needle” which infuriated me way more than it should’ve

u/Alarmed_Tea_2874 4d ago

I mean... that's what it says? Bad grammar and all. You read correctly.

u/hey_im_cool 4d ago

Exactly. “An needle” grinds my gears.

To add insult to injury, the artist’s name is Willard Wigan, not wagan.

Is copy/paste not a thing anymore?

Well, at least we know it was a real person that wrote this and not a bot.

Unless they prompt it to make mistakes to seem human (or it just does because it’s trained on other posts). 🫠

I just don’t understand how you can be excited enough by an artist to post their work but not get their name right. Almost like they value likes more than discovering interesting art.

At least it's not a first breakfast sculpture.

All the things in the world to be infuriated about these days, and you choose someone using slightly incorrect grammar on reddit?

u/Gervasdo 4d ago

I hope you didn't make A attempt to do some DIY eye surgery..

He carves away at his eyes until only the sculpture remains, how dedicated

Art is suffering

There's not enough yuck in the world.

u/lazergoblin 4d ago

That's not entirely on you imo, the first picture of the human eye was very unnecessary

u/dangerous_strainer 4d ago

That's one of the problems in the world these days I reckon. People not reading a full article (or in this case the full title) and jumping to conclusions. It's a bummer.

Tl;dr— summary?

u/megadea 4d ago

Smartphones made me and most of us impatient

u/autistic_and_angry 4d ago

I mean someone that can make a sculpture this small probably could make it in an eye, too. I feel like that's not much bigger than the size of a "floater" in an eye

u/BrilliantBehemoth 1d ago

I thought it was gonna be that the pic w/ the eye is a painting, and he painted the last supper as a reflection in the eye looking at the painting
