I Do, I Have, I Am

As I looked at this painting made by Saul Steinberg, my thoughts about this painting meaning to me were that it represents mostly a farmer taking care of his crops. I got this idea because it shows three phrases “I Do, I Have, and I Am”. These three phrases represent a thing that I thought to believe about that helps each other.

The “I Am” can represent as the earth’s soil, because it’s on the ground below the two other phrases and that the ground can never be change dramatically. It’s still what it is even if there is some dirt on it or other things on top of it. You can change whatever it is on the outside, and yet on the inside it will still be the same no matter what it has become. It’s also become to what it is by the other two phrases which helps taking care of it to have a good future.

The “I Have” is mostly the farmer who works at the field taking care of the soil for it to grow goods. “I Have” and “I Am” both share a bond which helps each other in the process. The “I Have” which is the farmer takes care of the place (watering the plants and etc.) in order for him to maintain a life or purpose, without the crops he will not be able to do anything at all and be left alone.

The quote “I Do” symbolizes as the sun, because of the exotic colors different from the other phrases and that everything mostly connects around the sun. For example, the sun helps the farmer grow his crops by giving it nutrition and food from its sunlight. When the sun do it’s job by giving off the sunlight, the crop will grow beautifully and big with the additional help of the farmer to make it even better.
I like this quote, because its mostly a mystery to everyone and has a different view among all of us which probably won't have the same guess.
