Santiago Rodríguez Olazábal's "Cada Cual Con Su Carga" asserts the inexorable burden of individual destiny within Afro-Cuban spiritual frameworks, rendering a horizontal mixed-media composition on canvas that centers the human figure as a carrier of karmic or ancestral weight. Through layered textures, symbolic inscriptions, and gestural marks—characteristic of the artist's engagement with Palo Monte, Santería, and Congo-derived cosmologies—the work depicts the solitary confrontation with one's ori (personal head/destiny), where the phrase "cada cual con su carga" functions as an ironic, almost sarcastic affirmation of personal responsibility amid the interplay of divine predetermination and human agency. The elongated format and subdued palette amplify the sense of inexorable progression, transforming the canvas into a processional altar that evokes the inevitability of carrying one's fate, whether as spiritual load, historical inheritance, or existential obligation. Conceptually, the piece firmly interrogates the tension between free will and cosmic assignment, positioning the burdened self as the ultimate locus of accountability in a syncretic worldview resilient against colonial erasure and contemporary disillusionment, where endurance emerges not from relief but from the unyielding acceptance of one's charge.
