Rome-based artist Micaela Lattanzio’s project “Fragmenta” centres on the fragmentation of female identity.
Each work in the ongoing series, which the artist began in 2013, is created through meticulous manual cropping which transforms female faces into “an intricate mosaic that deconstructs the iconographic material of departure,” according to a statement on the artist’s work. The latest set of works in the series explores the degradation of women’s rights due to political and social discrimination. Lattanzio’s works are on show at Royal Caribbean Art Collection, MAAM, The Museum of Elsewhere in Rome and Miami’s Ca’ D’Oro Gallery.
