This series reminds me of what I read about Japanese gardening in the past, which tries to simulate a part of nature artificially, which is basically contradicting. So, accepting the contradiction and simplifying it is its basic philosophy, which is usually represented by contrasting light and shadow. Yeah, I agree that the duality concept (either as contradicting nature of just human desires or of all living entities) plays an important role in the series.
