Why It Matters

Like "Human Walker," this is a hand-embellished edition, prized because every sheet carries a unique spray-paint element. With only 45 impressions plus 5 APs, it is among Hijack's scarcer and most hands-on 2019 works, blending edition art with one-off street practice.

Collector Perspective

The combination of a low 45-piece count and individual hand-finishing is exactly what rarity-focused collectors seek. Buyers should note that each impression differs, so condition and the specifics of the spray-paint embellishment matter more here than on a uniform edition.

Historical Context

Released in 2019, "Puzzled" reflects Hijack's studio method of extending street-art spontaneity into the print edition through hand application. It reinforces his ties to the mural tradition he shares with his father Mr. Brainwash.
