The young lad has been cubing since the age of 7 and has gained the skills and perfection to solve a 3*3 cube in under 2 seconds. It was after coming across a YouTube video that he got interested in making mosaic portraits using Rubik’s cubes. Spending nearly six hours, he first replicated his parents’ wedding photo, following which he developed a knack for it and started doing the portraits in less than an hour. 

Advaidh is said to have won competitive cubing events, following which his parents got him the several hundred cubes to practice his art and hone his talents by cubing non-stop.
