The geometric designs seen on Ingrid Donat's bronze Bougeoir Ekorce reference the precision of Art Deco and organic flowing lines of Art Nouveau.
However, the artist’s fascination with marking the surface of her work is born from African scarification traditions, which she first encountered on her childhood home of Réunion island. Donat channels the ritual nature of the tribal skin-scarring process, finding harmony within the graphic repetitive designs.
