Regarding the use of symbolism in art, the following
extracts from letters written to two individuals by the House of Justice may
provide the answer you seek:
We see no objection to the use of natural phenomena as
symbols to illustrate the significance of the three Central Figures, Bahá'í
Laws, and Bahá'í Administration; and we also appreciate the suitability of
using visual symbols to express abstract concepts.

Justice (From a letter dated 29 July 1971; The Compilation of Compilations,
vol. III, The Importance of Arts in Promoting the Faith)
