We’re in Love with the Top Instagram Hashtag of 2017

Follow along on #IGYearInReview as we reflect on the most memorable Instagram trends of 2017.

For the fifth year in a row, #love is the top Instagram hashtag. “There can never be an excess of love. We always need more,” says paper typographer Sabeena Karnik (@sabeenu) from Mumbai, India. “It is the most powerful feeling which can be expressed in so many ways: the smallest act of kindness, a caring word, a hug, a smile, a kiss.”

With this piece of art, Sabeena’s intent is to spread the word — and the feeling. “The tiny parts of the heart represent small acts of love which is all we need to make the world a better place,” she explains. “If we give love, we will always receive abundance of it in return.”
