The narrator of the video attempts to create a massive portrait using 3000 Rubik's cubes on a 3x3 meter wall in their studio. Initially, they considered buying the cubes online, but the cost would have been around £10,000-£15,000. Instead, they reached out to Daily Puzzles, who agreed to sponsor the project by providing the cubes for free.
The narrator estimates they need to spend around 39 hours on the project, which includes unboxing the cubes, building a frame, and arranging the cubes into a mosaic portrait. They use a website to generate a Rubik's mosaic image, which they then recreate by solving each cube to match the pattern.
Throughout the project, the narrator faces challenges such as building a sturdy frame, carrying heavy boxes of cubes, and arranging the cubes into the correct pattern. Despite the difficulties, they find the process to be meditative and satisfying, especially as the portrait begins to take shape.
In the end, the narrator completes the project, using 3000 cubes to create a massive portrait on their studio wall. They reflect on the experience, noting that while it was time-consuming and challenging, it was also enjoyable and rewarding.
