One day while playing with a Rubik's Cube I began to think of the cube as if it was life. We are moving things around in our life to get everything to fit together, just like you would do with a Rubik's cube. With this thought I came up with an idea to create a Rubik's cube that shows how people struggle everyday to get their life together.
I have started one cube that is made from clay. The cube is a foot and half by a foot in half. Instead of making the cube perfect it is cracked and does not fit together. The squares will have images of different social and political issues that people struggle with. For example, family, money, religion, the American dream, etc. This cube does not fit together to show the struggle we have and how some may feel that there is nothing they can do to get their cube of life together.
I will also be making more cubes that show different angles of life and how it can be put together for some. There is no one way to solve life and for most of it we will spend the rest of our lives trying to get the pieces to fit. Just like it is with some of us who have trouble solving a Rubik's Cube.
Think about it, is your life like a Rubik's Cube you can't seem to solve?
