The Old Man explores the biblical concept of the flawed, sinful nature inherent in humanity. It represents the continuous struggle to overcome this state, reflecting both personal and creative endeavors.
Presented as a manifesto, this project takes shape through a series of short narrative videos. Each chapter addresses profound questions and life experiences, focusing on central themes such as: How can I learn to love? Why do I create?
These reflections led to documenting thoughts through specific vows, divided into 8 parts, which eventually formed a manifesto.
The vows are an abstract prayer: a striving toward the principles one aims to live by.
Eight vows. Eight steps. And fire. The voice becomes a prayer. Silence fills with light.
vow of sacrifice
vow of abstinence
vow of mindfulness
vow of sacred service
vow of memento mori
vow of absolute faith
vow of creation
vow of sincerity
Much like The Old Man shedding their imperfect past, the creative process itself mirrors this transformation—stripping away the unnecessary to eliminate noise and reveal something more genuine.
The visual approach follows the same principle: removing excess and focusing on core essence. It avoids trends, relying on intuitive signals in human perception.
The style draws inspiration from the raw 2000s aesthetic, a time when key elements of UX design began to solidify, with colors like acidic green and red commonly used as primal markers of safety and danger.
As AI evolves rapidly, long-term artistic explorations create a dynamic space for testing and redefining aesthetics. This ongoing movement keeps the work flexible, allowing it to blend diverse influences into a cohesive vision—Goliath Style.
Goliath Style is not a style in the traditional sense, but rather a vision that unites various aesthetics through a singular visual language.
