SHARING IS CARING

Sharing Is Caring captures an intimate moment where two lovers meet—lips touching, a strawberry suspended between them, sweet and fragile. This shared act becomes more than affection; it is a visual metaphor for communication, vulnerability, and exchange. At the heart of the painting lies the quiet but powerful presence of the letter “I”—small, ordinary, and endlessly repeated in daily life. “I am okay.” “I think.” “I will be there.” Here, I is no longer just grammar; it becomes the seed of identity, intention, and connection.

The I represents selfhood—the moment a person claims space and says, this is me. Yet the painting also reflects how easily we form ideas about others without words. A look, a gesture, a shared silence can communicate more than speech ever could. The lovers’ closeness suggests this unspoken understanding, where perception moves faster than language and meaning is exchanged intuitively.

As the I evolves within the work, it subtly transforms into an Eye. To share an idea is to share sight—to offer a glimpse into one’s inner world. Just as the strawberry is shared mouth to mouth, ideas and perspectives are passed between minds. This exchange is intimate and risky; once shared, it can nourish, change, or even challenge the receiver.

In this meeting point, two inner worlds overlap. Individuality does not disappear; instead, it expands. The kiss becomes a space where identities touch without losing their edges, where difference is not erased but embraced.

Ultimately, Sharing Is Caring reflects on love and communication as acts of mutual seeing. It reminds us that every I carries a unique vision of the world—and that true intimacy begins when we allow someone else to taste, see, and understand a part of our own.
