The Portrait

What Sebaa asks of its bearer

At the opening of Sebaa stands Seen: an outward turn toward asking. At the interior, Ba brings an interior that holds and shelters; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the inward currents the name carries. Sebaa ends in Alif — everything resolves back to the source. What this asks of her: to let sheba pass through this whole sequence — opening, interior, close — until it is no longer a label but a way of being.
