Story of this artwork

This artwork is based on the famous metaphysical paradox launched by the Greek philosopher Aristotle :

« Which came first :  the chicken or the egg ? »

So here we are faced with a hen who asks herself the following questions :

- Is it really an artwork ?
- Was it me who did this ?
- Was the meaning of my existence to make this artwork ?
- But first, does this artwork come from me ?
- Or did this artwork appear before me ?
- Is it really an artwork ?
- Is this artwork that made me ?
- In this case, who could have made this artwork ?
- I would have to ask someone, but who ?
- After all, maybe I made this artwork ?
- Is it really an artwork ?

... (start again, looping)

Pay attention, because there is a trick that will allow you to solve this ancient riddle...

Once you have found it, you will then be able to determine if this artwork is indeed one !
