Egg?
DESCRIPTION
Optical illusions are created with the aim of challenging the viewer's mind, in order to show them something that goes beyond the usual, even if the shape of the object represented is identical. it has everything to do with our perception of form, very similar to what happens in Gestalt theory.That was my objective with creating this image, with the line outlining the egg that seems to run across the table. Seeing the image in small size, our brain is tricked into thinking that it is really just an egg, but when we see the image in large size, we see that the reality is a line outlining the egg.
