This example demonstrates a minimalist SVG composition inspired by Nadieh Bremer’s talk on gradients and filters, featuring a glowing sun-like circle layered over a vertically striped backdrop. The rendering uses a custom linear gradient (`<linearGradient>`) with abrupt color stops to create a bold, banded sky, while a blurred circle (via `<feGaussianBlur>`) produces a halo effect around a solid core. The scene is drawn entirely with raw SVG elements—`<rect>` and `<circle>`—inside a static `index.html`, with no external libraries or data-binding. A hidden `<defs>` section defines both the gradient and blur filter for reuse.

This is mainly inspired from "SVG Beyond Mere Shapes" by Nadieh Bremer, which shows cool examples of using gradients and filters in data visualizations.
