Old is Gold Hoodie

This work blends the UAE’s rich heritage with the spirit of contemporary pixel art to create a visual experience that connects the past and present. It draws on authentic Emirati elements such as old ships, palm trees, forts, Arabic coffee, and pearl diving, presenting them in a playful 8-bit style to appeal to the younger generation by offering a fresh and inspiring reinterpretation of heritage. The core concept is based on the idea of ​​“Old is Gold,” reflecting the notion that heritage is not merely the past, but a precious value worthy of being seen through modern eyes. Through this vibrant style and digital simplicity, I aim to make Generation Z feel that heritage is not just something distant or traditional, but something fun, dynamic, and can be transformed into contemporary art that resonates with their tastes.
