The Portrait

What Qurratu Ain asks of its bearer

At the opening of Qurratu Ain stands Qaf: an outward self of strength and command. Inside the name, Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the forces that shape the inner life. The Nun resolves the name: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The work of the name is to let coolness of eyes live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
