The Portrait
What Tuba asks of its bearer
Tuba opens with Ta — a grounded outward self. Inside the name, Waw brings an interior that connects; Ba brings an interior that holds and shelters. These are the inward currents the name carries. The closing letter is Ya: the life closes in selfhood and vocation. What this asks of her: to let the tree of paradise pass through this whole sequence — opening, interior, close — until it is no longer a label but a way of being.
Tuba Buyukustun — one of the most famous Turkish actresses, known internationally.
