A small part broken off or separated from something. To fragment can be seen as a form of disintegration, a process of fragility and vulnerability. A fragment can be appreciated when separated from its context by focusing on its detail, whilst also, from a broader perspective, it can be understood as part of a much bigger constellation or whole.
