In “Attrition surface, love and labor” (2025), “Attrition surface, afterimage of growth” (2025) and “Attrition surface, valeurs refuge” (2025), architectural facades appear less as buildings than as vulnerable bodies. In this series, Donzé explores corporate architectures, bodily gestures, and social structures, tracing connections between bodies, labor and capital. Surfaces glow with gold, darken with burns, and seem to crack under invisible heat: they recall corporate towers at sunset, sacred walls marked by time, ruins that promise both shelter and collapse. Their chromatic glow hovers between sacred aura and financial speculation, shimmering with golden reflections that evoke both microchips and office towers at dusk. At the same time, their textures shift between bruised, punctured, and melting matter. These works speak of what remains when architecture turns into memory, when fire and touch leave their imprint. Their glow lingers like an afterimage of labor and love, a reminder that destruction and rebuilding belong to the same cycle.
