His practice is grounded in the shifting relationship between humans and nature, not as an image to be represented, but as a condition to be filtered, delayed and structurally reframed. What appears natural in his work is always mediated, held at a distance by glass, translucent layers or constructed frames. Körei often starts from everyday encounters with natural phenomena, fragments of plants, growth, decay, light, and transfers them into controlled sculptural systems. Glass plays a central role. It allows visibility while enforcing separation, turning observation into a conscious, slowed act. Nature in these works is not preserved or idealized. It is compressed, interrupted, sometimes stalled, existing somewhere between object and image. Time operates as a quiet but decisive force throughout the practice. Earlier works emphasized slow transformation and decay. More recent projects focus on the rhythm of perception itself, how duration, repetition and spatial framing shape what can be seen and when. This shift has expanded Körei’s work into video and installation, and increasingly into outdoor and site specific contexts where light, weather and spatial conditions become active components rather than neutral backdrops. Körei’s sculptures do not offer narratives or symbolic readings. They insist on attention. By staging nature through systems of restraint and mediation, the work makes perception itself the material under pressure.
