Sophomore turns Rubik's Cube hobby into art form
Spring 2025
The first time William sat down to solve a Rubik’s Cube in high school, it took him about four hours. Now, it takes him 30 seconds. Then he saw an artist online doing mosaics made from cubes and thought, "That's so cool — I wonder if I could do that?’' For the Civil Engineering major, Husker track and field athlete and Kiewit Scholar, building Rubik’s Cube mosaics has become a therapeutic outlet. McDavid’s gone from simpler designs made of 300 cubes to building 600-cube portraits of real people.
