I've been thinking for a couple of years about what I've been calling abstract realism in photography—that is, abstraction as discovered in photography, which is an image of the "real" without interference. What you're saying here dovetails nicely. You're absolutely correct about the arrangement of light and shadow making abstract forms come alive in the photo.
The sixth day of creation is also some thing I deal with all the time as a photographer. When I'm out on a roadtrip, making photographs and video of natural scenes, such as the mountains or ocean, or the National Parks, I am conscious of wanting to capture the feel of the sixth day of creation. Of course that's nothing new in modern landscape photography. One could say a great deal about Ansel Adams' work from this perspective, for example.
