Your Identity: Your Oracle Your Fate

Conceptual Portrait The way we are in the world and how we live it is ineluctably shaped by the constant interplay between our personal and our social, both internal and external, identities. The shape of our fate, so the one of our future but also of our past, depends on our ability to develop and to carry on a meaningful dialogue between these different, varying and not rarely divergent components of our individual identity. Our identity is our personal oracle, our sibyllin message to ourselves and to the world. Our self-fulfilling prophecy.
