A 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube. Invented by Ernő Rubik in the 1970s, this three-dimensional sphere remains one of the most loved puzzles of the 21st century. An iconic object of our time.
The ultimate aim of solving this puzzle is to rotate the cube until each side is in a single color. A 3x3x3 cube consists of six faces, each with nine colored square facets and 54 facets. As such every single cube has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 or 43 quintillion possible combinations. A higher number than galaxies in the observable universe. Yet it is solvable in less than ten seconds if you know how.
Exploring possibilities so incredibly vast, this series of photographic negatives questions individual and collective choice, the power of action, and what impact this has once a course of action unfurls from present to future. The work ultimately seeks to question why we accept and often desire one supreme outcome, and reality vis-a-vis a multitude of possibilities.
