Image for Rubin Vase

Rubin Vase

A Rubin Vase is an example of a visual illusion where an image can be perceived in two different ways. It shows a black shape that resembles a vase, but at the same time, it can be seen as two faces in profile looking at each other. This phenomenon occurs because our brain interprets the same visual information in multiple ways, switching between the two perceptions. The Rubin Vase demonstrates how perception is not just about what we see, but how our mind processes and interprets visual stimuli, highlighting the brain's role in creating meaningful images from ambiguous input.
