This work is unique.

Nick Mauss's *This work is unique.* is a mixed media and Xerox work on paper that blurs the boundaries between reproduction and originality, inviting reflection on the nature of authenticity through its layered processes. Mauss employs the mechanical quality of Xerox alongside handmade mark-making to create a tension between the mass-produced and the singular. The work's self-referential title further deepens its conceptual intrigue, turning the piece into a quiet meditation on what it means for any object to be truly one of a kind.
