Because every original carries unique, irreversible information traces:The exact moment of creation (time, light, temperature, pressure)
The specific material aging and molecular arrangement
The artist's microscopic hand movements and breathing rhythm
The interaction history between object and environment
These form a one-time existential signature that no scanning, 3D printing, or AI reconstruction can fully recover.
