The Portrait
What Yilmaz asks of its bearer
At the opening of Yilmaz stands Alif: primary orientation toward being first. At the interior, Ya brings an interior of strong selfhood; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The closing letter is Zayn: the life closes in beauty and ornament. What this asks of him: to let undaunted pass through this whole sequence — opening, interior, close — until it is no longer a label but a way of being.
