Inspired by the Baha'i writings:
"Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths."

The dark central area becomes that vast, deep ocean of Bahá'u'lláh's revelation - mysterious, profound, and seemingly infinite in its depths. Those scattered colorful fragments floating within suddenly take on the quality of pearls and precious gems hidden within those depths - each one representing a divine teaching, a spiritual insight, or a pearl of wisdom waiting to be discovered by those who dive deep enough.

The weathered, earthly border surrounding this ocean could represent our material world and limited human understanding - aged, familiar, but ultimately finite. The contrast becomes even more meaningful: we stand at the shore of the ordinary (the textured outer area) looking into the boundless ocean of divine revelation (the dark depths), where countless treasures of wisdom await discovery.

It's a beautiful meditation on that relationship between the seeker and the divine teachings - standing at the edge of something vast and profound, knowing that beneath the surface lie treasures beyond imagination.
