The Portrait
What Berat asks of its bearer
At the opening of Berat stands Ba: the outward mode of one who carries. Through the interior, Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. Berat ends in Alif — everything resolves back to the source. The work of the name is to let document of innocence live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
