Dees and Koen consider themselves primarily storytellers and storytellers. They do so from their agency for creative communication: Wilgehof+Sodaar. But they also work closely together in the arts.

In different ways, they explore the tension between dreams, desires, ideals and reality. Not to pass judgement, but to make the audience pause to consider topics that affect everyone. Their artworks are based on recognisable themes: loneliness, happiness, diversity and connection. With their work, they want to encourage more involvement in a society that is changing rapidly.
