ambiguous figures

Ambiguous figures are images designed to be perceived in more than one way, causing the viewer to interpret them differently depending on focus or perspective. They play with visual cues and assumptions, making a single image appear as multiple different pictures. Examples include optical illusions like the Rubin Vase, which can be seen as a vase or two faces, depending on how you interpret the shapes. These figures highlight how perception is influenced by mental processes and context, illustrating that what we see is partly shaped by how our brain processes visual information rather than just the image itself.
