In 2021, I set out to create the world’s largest dual-sided rotating puzzle cube mosaic, using approximately 5,000 cubes.
Rather than building a heavy glass-covered frame or gluing the cubes in place, I wanted to develop a new approach—one that would allow spectators to physically feel and even touch the cubes.
I designed an ultra-lightweight frame (weighing no more than 10 kg) made of construction profiles, and vertically stretched 240 fishing lines across it. Onto these threads, I strung—or wove—the cubes: 40 rows of 120 cubes each. In total, 4,800 cubes were used, weighing around half a ton.
The final result was a "cubic carpet" measuring 15.86 square meters, seamlessly integrated into the frame. The mosaic was installed in the center of a railway station hall, allowing viewers to walk around and observe both sides of the piece.
The image depicted is a stylized rendering of the Sheddock Hotel building. Today, parts of this mosaic are preserved and displayed indoors—mounted in metal frames on metal threads.
This mosaic was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records as the Largest Dual-Sided Rotating Puzzle Cube Mosaic (Pattern).
