Japanese artist carves leaves to create stunning leaf art, photos go viral

In a stunning display of talent despite suffering from ADHD and hyperactivity, a Japanese artist nicknamed Lito Leaf has created miniature art on leaves. And althought he started in 2020, photos of his work has surfaced online again and gone viral. One user explained, "Quick tidbit about ADHD. Even though it’s often characterized by having difficulty paying attention and/or being hyper active, often times people with ADHD hyper-focus on specific things either for short amounts of time for extended amounts of time. It causes us to oftentimes get really really good at something. I became really good at photography in less than year because it’s all I wanted to do in my free time. This is likely what happened here. ADHD is a vastly misunderstood disability that most people narrow down to “not being about to pay attention” but it’s a lot more than that."
