Does anyone know what the metal parts of the picture of the Voya Nui Icon represent?

Going back to the VOya Nui, I noticed that there was a logo which was used in Bionicle Heroes. This was one of the icons used.


In the picture is what appears to be a logo of some metal with holes, holding a zamor sphere and in the Zamor Sphere appears to be the island of Voya Nui and the light in the island symbol is the location of the Mask of Life.

If the white light in the picture represents the Mask of Life’s location which is Mount Valmai, and the reverse intaglio of the Zamor Sphere is the island Voya Nui as well as representing gemstones such as Chrysoberyls, Tuurmalines, Sphenes, Garnets, Lemon Quartzes, as well as all other yellow-green gems, the metal would represent some sort of bezel or metal frame or pendant, what does the metal with the black holes represent?

(Like I said, if you are going to give an answer, please explain the parts of the markings for each of the Kanoka give a full explanation of the various meanings and significance have many stories behind the symbols for every Kanoka.

E.g., the head of Ganesha, in hinduism, shows a representation of opening the ears and eyes, and not the mouth, the head of the elephant represents knowledge showcasing how an elephant never forgets as well as how gentle and humble Ganesha is which symbolizes Humility, and the one tusk that is intact whereas the other broken tusk emphasizes that there is only one Supreme being.

The sphere was probably styled to look like a green zamor, since thats what the piraka, the years first mainline sets, heavily featured. Im not sure where your getting the gemstone analogy.

Beyond thst, the holes and shadow were most likely just arbitrary graphic design choices, if you want to look further Id reccomend graphic design/art forums instead of a lego one.
In general with bionicle, despite its depth, Id remember it was primarily a toy line for kids and not read too much into it.
