Mosaic art dates back to ancient civilizations and involves assembling small pieces of colored materials to create intricate images.
In the realm of cinema, this technique has been ingeniously applied to movie posters, resulting in artworks that are both visually striking and symbolically profound.
Mosaic posters stand out because they:

Engage the viewer, who looks closer to see the details;
Symbolize complexity, identity, and interconnectedness;
Visually represent the themes of the movie.
