Image for Visual paradox

Visual paradox

A visual paradox is an image or optical illusion that challenges our perception, making us see something that appears contradictory or impossible. It creates a situation where the visual cues defy logical expectations, prompting us to re-evaluate what we believe we are seeing. For example, an image might show a staircase that seems to ascend and descend simultaneously, or an object that appears to be in two places at once. These paradoxes are intriguing because they highlight how our brain interprets visual information and often reveal the limits or quirks of our perception system.
