Dees and Koen primarily consider themselves as story collectors and storytellers. They work from their office for creative communication: Wilgehof+Sodaar. They also collaborate closely in art.

They explore the interplay between dreams, desires, ideals, and reality in various ways. Their aim is not to judge but to make their audience stop and think about topics that affect everyone. Their artworks are based on recognizable themes such as loneliness, happiness, diversity, and connection. They want their work to inspire more engagement in a fast-changing society.
