Fragmentation is commonly treated as disruption or incompleteness. In Julião Sarmento’s work, partial forms and dispersed imagery function structurally to structure relational attention and psychological engagement through withholding rather than disclosure.
Figures remain incomplete, spatial relationships are suggestive, and perceptual connections are modulated by absence. Meaning emerges from intervals and gaps rather than accumulation.
