The Portrait
What Randa asks of its bearer
At the opening of Randa stands Ra: an outward self in motion. Through the interior, Nun brings an interior of preserved depth; Dal brings an interior of return. These are the inward currents the name carries. The closing letter is Alif: everything resolves back to the source. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until fragrant tree is not what the name says but what the life shows.
Randa Akef (born 1988) — Egyptian artistic gymnast, World Champion.
