Koot specializes in spatial objects and conceptual design. She is most known for her Collectible design and objets d’art, where she manipulates reality by juxtaposing ideas, images and concepts.  Koot shapes a world that is not so much a display of various convictions but more a series of intersections between contemporary and imaginative life. Motivated by a desire to rethink, reshape and dissect systems, she blurs the lines between sense and nonsense.
