Artwork description

Individualidad. Cualidad particular de alguien o algo, por lo cual se da a conocer o se señala singularmente.

¿Por qué somos tan distintos?, ¿en que nos diferenciamos de los demás?, ¿que nos hace reír o llorar a cada uno?, ¿en que pensamos cuando estamos solos?, ¿Qué esperas del futuro?, ¿Quiénes nos acompañan en la vida?, ¿y el amor?, ¿acertamos o erramos en nuestras decisiones?
El hombre está destinado a llegar a ser una individualidad completa, autosuficiente y libre, parece estar en contradicción con el hecho de que él se encuentra como miembro dentro de un todo natural (raza, pueblo, nación, familia, sexo masculino o femenino), y que también actúa dentro de un todo (Estado, iglesia, etc.). El hombre posee las características generales de la comunidad a la que pertenece, y que da a su actuar un contenido condicionado por la posición que él ocupa dentro de la sociedad.
¿Es aún posible, con todo esto, la individualidad? ¿Podemos considerar al hombre como un todo en sí mismo a pesar de que se desarrolla dentro de un todo y de que forma parte de ello?

Toda esta serie de preguntas tan antropológicas siempre nos hacen pensar más allá de la cotidianidad de nuestra vida. Las respuestas pueden variar según el individuo, el momento en que se encuentra y sobre todo de la opinión que tenga de si mismo.

Invividuality. Particular quality of somebody or something which stands out as special.
Why are we so different? What makes us different from everybody else? What makes each one of us laugh or cry? What do we think about when we are alone? What do you expect the future to bring? Who accompanies us in life? And love? Are the decisions that we make right or wrong?
Man is destined to become a complete individual, autosufficient and free. This seems to be in contradiction with the fact that he is part of a naturally occuring social setting (race, community, nation, family, gender), as well as acting within a structured social context (state, church, etc.). Man possesses the general characteristics of the community to which he belongs, and his actions are conditioned by the position which he occupies in society.
Taking all of this into consideration, is individuality still possible? Can we consider man to be an entity in himself, despite evolving within a context, and being part of a context?
All of these questions of such an anthropological nature lead us to think about higher issues than the simple routine of daily life. The answers can vary according to the individual, the moment in which one finds oneself, and above all, the opinion which one has of oneself.
