Shadow as Repetition

I found the concept of 'Shadow as Repetition' is most relevant to my models. I believe shadow adds a different element in my environment components besides solid forms and shapes. I feel it evokes a different feeling when a symmetrical shape casts an asymmetrical shadow, as if it completes the lack of randomness of the shapes. Through appropriate lighting direction, shadow creates distinct effects although repeated solid shapes were used. The shadow casted are unique to themselves, not bound by each other or the solid shapes. Without the use of manipulative lighting and shadow, I believe all of this result would not be achieved.
