Description

🗑️ Garbage represents the concrete universal of waste.

🎨 Picasso's art exemplifies the concrete universal through different periods and works.

🌌 Failures and contradictions can lead to transcendence.

🎭 Art expresses both expression and concealment simultaneously.

🔀 Concrete universalism combines the concrete and the abstract into one concept.

💡 The concept of concrete universalism challenges fixed definitions and highlights the dynamic nature of objects, people, and ideas.

🔄 The concrete universal constantly expands, while the defining object fails to fully capture its totality.
