WHO CARES? - David Kracov - Eden Gallery

About The Artwork

"WHO CARES?" by David Kracov is a provocative 3D metal wall sculpture that juxtaposes the innocence of childhood with a stark symbol of despair. In this impactful artwork, the familiar image of a blue Care Bear, an emblem of carefree and loving childhood memories, is seen with a broken heart, gripping a gun to its head. Behind the sad figure, the words "WHO CARES?" challenge the viewer, appearing to float in an indifferent backdrop. This 8x18-inch sculpture serves as a powerful commentary on the loss of innocence, the struggle with internal demons, and society's often dismissive attitude toward mental health and emotional pain. Kracov's work here confronts the viewer with the contrast between the bright optimism typically associated with Care Bears and the dark reality of emotional distress, prompting a reflection on empathy and understanding.
