Micaela Lattanzio is exploring the fragmentation of identity through her newest work, Fragmenta. Both a photographer and an artist, Micaela takes portraits of subjects and then systematically cuts and rips them up into abstract shapes.

She then painstakingly pins the fragments together onto a new canvas, recreating the original piece, but fragmented. Or, the Italian photographer will weave together different photos to create a completely new image.

By both destroying and reconnecting the fragments, Micaela explores the intricate paths of consciousness, where the reality of oneself is actually a tangle of unique perspectives.

After surviving a quarter life crisis, Nanette went from working in healthcare to pursuing her loves of design, food and writing. During the day she works in social media marketing, by night she writes for Design Milk. You can find more of her work at nanettewong.com.

In my opinion this is quite a bite off of David Adey’s work, yet not as interesting. http://www.davidadey.com/Gravitational-Radius
