mosaiced

Composed of fragments

Mosaiced describes something that has been made into or rendered as a mosaic—either literally composed of small pieces forming a pattern, or digitally obscured by pixelation.

In broadcasting and journalism, faces or sensitive images are mosaiced to conceal identity: The witness's face was mosaiced to protect her.

The word also describes landscapes or surfaces with a patchwork quality: mosaiced fields viewed from the air.
