The painting vividly embodies Ibn Sina’s concept of emanation, illustrating his exploration of
metaphysics and existence. Emanation suggests that all beings and realities flow from a
singular, ultimate source, which Ibn Sina identifies as the Necessary Being. The intricate
pattern is inspired by the mosaic tiles of the Hall of the Kings at the Alhambra in Granada. It
features six-fold symmetry and multiples of twelve, symbolising the fundamental principles
that govern the cosmos and capturing the interconnectedness of existence
