The Portrait

What Busra asks of its bearer

Busra opens with Ba — the outward mode of one who carries. Through the interior, Sheen brings an interior that branches and spreads; Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The closing letter is Ya: the life closes in selfhood and vocation. The work of the name is to let bushra live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
