He began writing in 2022 when he began studying at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam. The themes that define Korkees's work include Continental Philosophy (Existentialism and Aburdism) and Ethics; he argues that the concepts of Existentialism and Aburdism, if taken as a radical stance against the meaninglessness of the world and the life upon it, are too extreme, and therefore he believes that there must be a middle point between these two philosophies: Existentialist Absurdism.
