A concept I’m excited to develop is Pixel Bloom — a digital art project that begins as a simple 24×24 grayscale flower sprite and evolves into a vibrant, high-resolution animated bloom. The core idea revolves around transformation: from minimal pixel art to a full, animated expression of life and color.

The initial NFT is raw and nostalgic, reminiscent of early digital aesthetics. When upgraded, it reveals a detailed, animated version — petals unfold, colors emerge, and subtle sound brings the bloom to life. This evolution is triggered by a burn-and-mint mechanic, where the rough draft is permanently removed to unlock the final piece.

Collectors aren’t just buying art — they’re witnessing growth. The upgrade makes each piece rarer and more meaningful, while allowing the holder to own both a symbol of origin and one of transformation. It’s a digital metaphor for change, creativity, and beauty in progression.
