The Portrait
What Yasmina asks of its bearer
The reading of Yasmina begins with Ya: an outward self of strong personality. Through the interior, Alif brings an originary axis at the interior; Seen brings an interior of asking. These are the hidden weathers of the name. And Yasmina closes on Alif: everything resolves back to the source. The work of the name is to let jasmine live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
Yasmina Khadra — pen name of Algerian author Mohammed Moulessehoul, author of The Swallows of Kabul.
