About Shadow

In various contexts, "shadow" refers to the areas receiving little or no light, creating contrast with illuminated parts. In Dharma, it signifies hidden or repressed aspects of the self that must be integrated for personal growth. In art, shadows add depth, dimension, and realism, depicting light effects to create a sense of volume. In architecture, shadows enhance aesthetics, energy efficiency, and comfort by highlighting features, creating engaging spaces, and providing natural cooling.
