Looking at Problems as Puzzles Using the Rubik's Cube Metaphor

Rubik's cube was invented by Hungarian sculptor and architect Erno Rubik in 1974. The Rubik's cube, whose purpose of invention was to create a type of intelligence puzzle, was used as a metaphor in this work. Unfortunately, although I cannot access the artist's comment, I am happy to say that there are many art lovers who write their comments under various pseudonyms. While I think that art is one of the best ways to convey what is inside us, sometimes by embellishing it and sometimes as it is, I also see it as an area where the "hidden" can be revealed. Unfortunately, I could not find the owner of this work of art that we will talk about and which is really open to interpretation. If you find it or know about it, I would appreciate it if you could reach us on social media.

  Apart from being a toy, Rubik's cube; It may remind us of complexity, search for solutions, patience, impatience, belief in impossibility, personality, part-whole relationship, external factors. I ask you, dear reader, to first look at this work of art by focusing on it.

You can comment on its meaning, think about it, or simply review it…

  

  The first thing that stands out in the work is We see a Rubik's cube. Afterwards, our attention is drawn to the eyes, lips, ears and nose on the Rubik's cube. What about hands? Whose hands belong to? If possible, can you go back and look at it?

I continue by guessing that there will probably be two basic views.

 

  Now that we have examined the work in detail, I would first like to convey to you, dear reader, the comments of those who commented on the work with their pseudonyms. By nature, we are capable of making unique interpretations. That's why every comment I recommend that you read it carefully and in conjunction with the work. There may be commentators with whom you find common ground. It may be good to feel a sense of belonging if there are commentators you agree with, or if you have a different opinion, reading the comments and looking at them from other perspectives can make you feel flexible and open to new views.

  I thought it would be helpful to share these comments with you, which I enjoyed while reading and thinking about them one by one. Now let's continue our article from where we left off.

 

 &n bsp;If I move on to my own interpretation,

  First of all, we see a pair of eyes that are sad and perhaps reflect the exhaustion that the person experiences while searching for solutions.

  I will start by distinguishing between active and passive in terms of movement. We see five active hands (two of which I think belong to the person). While the person is trying to solve the puzzle with his own hands, external factors come into play. Rubik's cube, on the other hand, is a passive metaphor that becomes active with external factors.

  When we put a comma here and think about what it reflects to us, 

  Possibilities, probabilities, dreams and thoughts always remain passive unless we activate them. Afterwards, we can shape our dreams, possibilities and possibilities by evaluating them, put them in order in our own way, and execute a plan, just as a person shapes them with both hands.

  What about the remaining three hands, what could this mean in our lives? Of course, the most likely answer to this is external factors. External factors can manipulate all these possibilities and dreams. Just like in the image, it can look like our own hand and have an impact on our decisions and thoughts. These effects can be beneficial and functional, or they can be manipulative and harmful. While we may think that we want and shape this ourselves, at some point we may find ourselves losing control. A limit needs to be drawn at the point where it is harmful or at the point where it disturbs the person even if it is well-intentioned. When the need to draw boundaries arises, a person may have difficulty if they have not practiced this – which is very normal – at this point it would be beneficial to get support from an expert.

 

  We see that similar tones are used in the work, on the hands and on the ground. With this, attention was drawn to the Rubik's earring, and the colors used and the confusion it created with bright tones may have reflected stress or difficulty. The neutrality of the color used on the hands and the ground almost adds a blur to the hands and their owners and reduces their clarity. The use of the same color on the hands and the ground, and the use of relatively softer and neutral colors compared to the Rubik's cube, indicates whose hand is involved and who is likely to be involved. It may indicate that it is difficult for us to distinguish and understand that it is effective on thoughts or dreams.

  Tired and exhausted eyes clearly convey the complexity of the situation and the difficulty of the puzzle. I believe that everyone can find something from themselves in this work, which focuses on puzzles with the Rubik's cube metaphor.

  Coming to my last words; Perhaps a word, a work of art, a song or a correctly asked question will be enough to solve the puzzle of life. Just like a puzzle game, after solving a puzzle, perhaps a more complex and higher level puzzle may appear before us... The important thing is to see each puzzle as a game, with the right questions, by increasing the capacity of self-healing power and, if we want, with the support of our loved ones, to be willing and enthusiastic for the solution. will be.

-     How would it make you feel to see problems like a puzzle?

-     Would turning your life puzzle into a game help you relax?

-     Turning problems into a gradual game is the solution. Does it help you stay focused?

-     Does getting support make it easier to solve the puzzle?

-     How do you feel as a result of solving the puzzles?

-     When you have difficulty solving the puzzles, or when you believe that you cannot solve them? What do you think about getting support from an expert?
