COLBY MARTEL ’24

NASHUA, NH

I have been fascinated with art and puzzles since I was a toddler. In my senior year of high school, I finally learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube, and this year, I met a friend who creates portraits out of them, combining my two interests. When I reached 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, he even surprised me with a Rubik’s cube mural of myself! This inspired me to learn how to create them too, and throughout the past few months, I’ve spent over 100 hours solving cubes and aligning them into portraits to show appreciation for people I love.
