I’m Still Looking. By Cybèle Young

Cybèle Young is an internationally renowned artist based in Toronto, Ontario. She creates incredibly detailed and sometimes movable sculptures on a teeny tiny scale. Everything is made from fine Japanese paper and very thin wire for structure.

To get a sense of the scale and how amazing her skill is, check out this short video of her making a paper unicycle.
