The project introduces a new set of punctuation marks designed to bring readers closer to the rhythm, tone, and personality of each conversation. “ZERO TO ART: Dialogue Vault” is a space where dialogue lives visually, shaped by identity, typography, and the textures of the city, capturing and reflecting the voices that define Groningen’s young cultural scene today.

In June 2025, I participated in the Academie Minerva Graduation Show, where I had the chance to exhibit this project alongside fellow design graduates. During the show, I chose to center the exhibition around the magazine’s table of contents. From them, I created a series of 10 banners in a similar ratio to the magazine. By selecting one quote from each conversation and displaying the page number at the bottom, I invited viewers to catch a glimpse of that story in the magazine.
