# Fragmented Photography Art Micela Lattanzia Fuses Portraits and Abstract Art in Her New Project By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-04-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragment-portrait-photography-art References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/fragmenta-micaela-lattanzio/) & [micaelalattanzio](http://www.micaelalattanzio.com/Works/Pagine/frammentazioni.html) Micaela Lattanzia's new [photography/art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs) brings life to the unique combination of [portraits and abstract art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits). After photographing her subjects, Lattanzia will take pieces of their faces and create shapes and [fragmented slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments), re-positioning them into an entirely new design. Her visions have taken her through a methodical process of undetermined destination. The creations seen in these portraits are nontraditional, yet still bring a livelihood to the original photographs. The fragmentation of the work is a common style used by Lattanzia. However, she is incorporating human images into her latest pieces. Building on the idea of creating, destroying and rebuilding something is a tedious and intimate operation which, Lattanzia is able to share an entirely new perspective of her original images. Other fragmented works of hers can been seen on her website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fused Art:** The combination of portraits and abstract art opens up opportunities to create unique and visually striking pieces. - **Fragmented Design:** The use of fragmented slices and reshaping them into new designs presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of photography and art. - **Nontraditional Portraits:** Exploring nontraditional approaches to portrait photography creates opportunities to push boundaries and redefine the genre. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Incorporating fragmented design and fusing art forms presents innovative opportunities for photographers to offer unique services and products. - **Art:** The fusion of portraits and abstract art offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the art industry, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Design:** The concept of fragmented design can be applied to various industries, including graphic design and interior design, to create visually striking and unique compositions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Juxtaposing Digital Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riflessi.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Identity-Exploring Artful Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments.md) - [Multi-Media Artful Monographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mika-tajima.md)
