The Portrait

What Fahimeh asks of its bearer

Fahimeh opens with Fa — an outward self that articulates. Through the interior, Ha (light) brings an interior that is expressed outward; Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood. These are the inward currents the name carries. Fahimeh ends in Alif — everything resolves back to the source. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until intelligent is not what the name says but what the life shows.
