An up-close, vertically oriented chromogenic print depicts the muscular torso of a man with medium-dark skin tone from the chest down. Six curved checkmark symbols are clustered as raised scar tissue on his pectoral muscle to our left, with one more to our right. Monochromatic copper-brown tones highlight his abdominal muscles and skin texture, while hair is visible at the bottom edge.
