The work presents a certificate of authenticity as the artwork itself. What is usually an auxiliary document, meant to guarantee origin, authorship, and value, becomes both subject and object of certification.

By certifying itself, the document enters a recursive loop. Authenticity is no longer anchored to an external artwork but refers back to its own authority. Verification collapses into repetition. Trust is produced procedurally rather than evidentially.

The work exposes the fragile logic underlying systems of validation in the art world, where legitimacy is sustained less by material certainty than by the uninterrupted performance of formal assurance.
