Helen Ingram, ''Disillusion'', Digital Print, 2010. The graduate exhibition pieces of work demonstrate the themes  of masks and disguises through the shattered effect of the composition. This  goes to break the character the composition is trying to form without losing the identity of the character. The characters shown int he middle image represents a blackbird with some of the segments having black and grey lines straying outwards whilst the other two represent a diva and a mistress. The mistress being the last one as the gesture of the hand lifting the dress bottom gives off an erotic vibe whilst the diva being the first one is striking a pose like someone famous and someone of importance this sis shown through one hand on the hair and one on the hips.The shattered effect also gives off the impression of being like a mirror with it's fragmented segments contrast between different imagery such as collage, painting and photo shop based, to create a unique composition that makes the viewer try to work out how the fragments fit together.
