In her work, she questions the status that is given to objects, whether they are artefacts or utensils. Her research method is based on endless combining, documenting, collecting and (re)searching. How combinations of colour and material are associated with political power structures and social roles is a recurring theme in Van der Ende's work. She uses this historical and cultural research to question their power and decontextualize their meanings.

Van der Ende's work takes a physical and participatory viewer into account. She strives for an intimate encounter with an audience, where the meaning of the work is often influenced by the audience's own intentions.
