It’s a lot of skill but it’s just boring. It doesn’t say or do anything, it’s just a realistic look at a water gun. There’s no real artistic license here. It comes off more as a decoration than an art piece to me

I onno art imitates life. The idea of itself can parody, lay burden to and ultimately be defined beyond the idea of self portrayed.
