Ein Sof
Ein Sof is the Kabbalistic word for the great infinite expanse that existed before the ten emanations of God-consciousness were made manifest. These ten emanations are like dimensions of consciousness, such as wisdom, judgment, mercy, and love, through which the upper light passes until it finally reaches us below. The painting is a depiction of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, a structure featuring these ten dimensions of consciousness, also known as Sephirot.
