Making a piece of art smaller than a pinhead is a lot like life itself.

Just ask microsculpture artist Marie Cohydon, 50, whose miniaturized creations taught her “to avoid believing that you have absolute control of the situation”—especially being the mother of an autistic child. “I had to deal with my son’s autism, an ordeal for which I was not prepared and which caused many battles in the face of screaming, stress, and sleepless nights,” she told The Epoch Times. “I think microsculpture saved me from despair.”
