De Joode mixes mediums, particularly those of photography, sculpture, and painting. Her work embodies the digital age’s ambivalent relationship to the material.  

She photographs and digitally manipulates abstract compositions of real surfaces. These surfaces are the basis of her investigation into the relationship between three-dimensional objects and their two-dimensional (re)presentation forms.
