Snow Zero

Snow Zero is a packaging design for a low-alcohol, low-calorie hard sparkling water. The name Zero refers to midnight, seen as both an ending and a beginning. The infinity symbol on the package expresses the idea of continuation. The figure 0 is rendered with a three-dimensional liquid metal effect to suggest a light and refreshing taste. Illustrations on the bottles draw on pioneer visual art styles for a futuristic look. The water drop shaped bottles can be joined mouth to mouth, so two bottles form a new infinity symbol. Aluminum cans and glass bottles are used.

Jellybelly is a fine art photography series that portrays jellyfish. The images were taken inside a large aquarium at night, in complete darkness.

The series aims to capture the elegant movement and aesthetic of a species that is also an indicator of water quality. Each image is printed on fine art paper, mounted on aluminium and set in a black oak frame with a two centimetre shadow gap. Two limited editions are offered, sized 50 by 50 cm and 80 by 80 cm.

The Municipal Library, accessible from the opposite side of the monument, is a hospitable space that develops in two levels.
