How can I fade an image along lines in Illustrator?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could assist with teaching me how to fade an image along lines in Illustrator (similar to the picture below).

As the lines progress a larger portion of the image is revealed.

Thanks for any help! It is greatly appreciated.

These aren't fading. These are simply shapes filled with progressively thinner lines. What have you tried? — Billy Kerr, Commented Jul 17, 2018 at 16:46

From two thick horizontal paths, create a Blend, 30 steps

Create a Star over the blend, select the Star and the Blend and make a Clipping Mask

Duplicate the Star three times from right to left

Select the Star on the right and go to Menu Object > Clipping Mask > Edit Contents
