In between spaces, identities – cultures and words

In our daily life, 'words' are essential to recognize things and necessary as a communication tool.

But what is the "word"?
At first thought words can act as symbols to recognize something as a concrete entity or substance by its name.
But words are more obscure than we think. Because the process of giving a word meaning is based on your experience or some special incident or event.
This is very subjective especially if you think about feelings or dreams. Someone's dream is someone else`s nightmare.
The word is closely related to your identity. You express your identity with speech and conversely by speaking you create your own identity
