Melting Cube

The Melting Cube mosaic is our most recent Moshixel creation. It depicts a standard 3x3x3 Rubik's cube that is melting, its melted colors flowing and intermingling onto a dark-colored plane in the foreground. The scene is dramatic and shows the cube having already melted more than halfway through on the front side, while still being mostly intact on the backside. The impression is one of inevitability - the cube's melting is unstoppable. The structure and order of the Rubik's cube gives way to the chaos, randomness, and nothingness of the melted colors. The design's dramatic scenery is created by clearly contrasting the cube and its melted colors from both the dark red-blue patterned foreground, as well as the background. The background follows a radial arithmetic XOR dithering pattern and the choice of colors is meant to vaguely evoke the atmosphere of a dramatic sunset scene as the backdrop of the melting cube.  

The Melting Cube Moshixel mosaic is currently ready for shipping. It consists of 1,350 cubes arranged in a 45 x 30 grid. It is 54 x 36 inches in size, can be mounted on a wall and is unframed.
