Look closely. This portrait by paper-quilling artist Yi Ye Wang (@pinkzhazha) took nearly three months to complete and is 100% constructed from rolled up paper. 🤯⁣ ⁣ “I use paper art to express the deep artistic mood of Chinese traditional ink painting, combined with modern western art techniques, to make my own unique style,” says the Paris-based Chinese artist, who also writes songs and plays bass.⁣ ⁣ “My friends are surprised that I can turn from being a crazy rock musician to a quiet artist who can work alone for long periods of time.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @pinkzhazha

Mikaela Loach (@mikaelaloach) is on a mission to make climate activism and ethical and sustainable living accessible to all. 💪💕⁣ ⁣ “Social justice issues cannot and should not be divorced from talk around sustainability and the climate crisis. So, rather than just using my own privilege to be zero waste, vegan and fast-fashion free myself, it’s also about looking at the world as it is and asking myself: How can I make these lifestyle changes possible for everyone? How can I create a world that is good for all people?”⁣ ⁣ This month, @cosmopolitanuk is releasing the “Positivity Index,” a list of 25 British people — included Mikaela — who are striving to make social media, and the world, a better place.⁣ ⁣ “I’m honestly very touched that my wee contribution to the world through my activism can be something both positive and hopeful,” says Mikaela, “which are two things we all need right now!”⁣ ⁣ Learn more about the Positivity Index on @cosmopolitanuk and @cybersmilefoundation now. ⚡

Thirteen-year-old rapper and entertainer Alaya High, aka That Girl Lay Lay (@thatgirllaylay), describes her rapping style as “fun, aware and adventurous... like my lifestyle.” 💓⁣ ⁣ “When I rap I feel happy and free, because it is a release. Music helps me express what’s going on in the world, and it helps me express the emotions I’m feeling,” says Lay Lay, who started heading to the studio with her father when she was 5. “I would tell him to record me, and I would make little kid raps, not talking about much, but I knew rapping and entertaining would be my life somehow.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @thatgirllaylay

“When I dance, I feel all my emotions on a bigger scale,” says 16-year-old dancer and choreographer Bailey Sok (@baileysok), who started training at 3 years old.⁣⁣ ⁣ “Depending on what my life looks or feels like at the moment, dance allows me to express those feelings into movements,” she explains. “Whether I’m happy, mad or sad, dance gives me a chance to really express all my emotions and to let go.” ⁣ ⁣ Check out this video Bailey made a few weeks ago. #ThisWeekOnInstagram

“When I first discovered that I wanted to play the violin, it was like something deep inside of me had awakened,” says 14-year-old Pilar Winter Hill (@pilarwinterhill), a classical musician and Juilliard Pre-College student.⁣ ⁣ She picked up the violin at age 6, and at first, all Pilar wanted to do was play at lightning speed. ⚡️⁣ ⁣ “I have always been a quick learner, a fast runner, a speed reader,” she explains. “But I came to understand a most crucial lesson very early, namely that if speed isn’t coupled with being clear and clean in my playing, then what kind of player would I become?” #ThisWeekOnInstagram
