A World in Fragmented Pictures

An exploration of images within images.

Every image contains a thousand others. Every fragment tells a story.

This gallery offers an overview of mosaic artworks composed of tens of thousands of individual tesserae—tiny visual fragments that come together to form a larger picture. Each tile is an image in its own right, contributing to a layered visual experience in which the details reveal a world of their own.

The tesserae take many forms: AI-generated colour strokes, AI-generated faces that have been further transformed and manipulated, and photographs. Together, they create a dialogue between the individual fragment and the complete image, between what we see at first glance and what emerges upon closer inspection.

Explore the gallery to discover these intricate compositions, or click on an image to open it in a detailed viewer and immerse yourself in the world of its individual tiles.
