"built from scratch" — Limited Edition Framed Canvas Print
"Built from Scratch" — Limited Edition Framed Canvas Print
**Edition: 1 of 50**
"Built from Scratch" is a meditation on survival, access, aftermath, and the painful work of rebuilding yourself from whatever remains. A bowed Black male figure stands suspended between flesh and machinery—part body, part archive, part unfinished reconstruction. Torn paper, distressed pigment, exposed cables, deep oxblood accents, and weathered mechanical forms transform the figure into evidence of everything he has endured and everything he is still becoming.
The work combines the visual language of Kenneth “__yak” Vann Jr.’s **SPRUNG** series into one psychologically layered composition. Its fragmented surface suggests memory under pressure: parts erased, parts repaired, parts exposed, and parts deliberately left unresolved. The result is intimate, confrontational, and ultimately defiant—a portrait of someone who was not merely broken and restored, but forced to build himself from scratch.
This framed canvas print is part of a **strictly limited edition of 50**, making it a striking collector’s piece for contemporary interiors, offices, studios, galleries, and personal spaces.
