Con Artist's Replica
Here are the art objects we've received for this assignment. Thanks everyone!
Create a replica of something you desire but know you cannot have.
An ordinary con man might substitute such a replica for its model, but your replica will be more real than the original object of desire; we invite you to be a con artist.
Is it a prop, or a partial representation? A functional stand-in that will, in time, yield its position to a more authentic desideratum? Or is this, rather, a copy indistinguishable from the original? Should such a perfect replica be celebrated or feared? Your replica may aspire to answer these questions. It is more likely to pose others.

I'm fairly well blessed and not the covetous type.
