The Portrait

What Veysel asks of its bearer

At the opening of Veysel stands Waw: an outward self that connects. Beneath the surface, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Seen brings an interior of asking. These are the forces that shape the inner life. And Veysel closes on Lam: the life closes in devotion. The work of the name is to let wasl/Wissam live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.

A Notable Bearer
