The Portrait

What Rajaa asks of its bearer

The first letter of Rajaa is Ra — an outward self in motion. Through the interior, Jeem brings an interior gathering; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the hidden weathers of the name. Rajaa ends in Alif — everything resolves back to the source. The work of the name is to let hope live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
