"Zujaja" represents the glass encasing the lamp, as described in the verse, shining like a brilliant star. This artwork delves into themes of purity and transparency, where the glass, though delicate, serves as a vessel for the light, amplifying its radiance and enhancing its guidance. The design adopts a square format to symbolize stability and balance, with geometric patterns forming a starburst effect from the center, evoking the brilliance of the light emanating from within the glass.
The primary colour is Opal, shimmering with subtle, iridescent hues to convey depth and radiance. The secondary colour silver intends to provide a cool, modern touch that complements the opal's luminous qualities.
