Description: Optical illusions based on Gestalt principles work by showing parts of a possible object and our brains fill in the gaps, based on what we would expect to see and also based on what is “easiest” to comprehend instantly.

The image in the mirror matches up so well with the landscape that our brains don’t perceive it as reflection, but as a completion of the obstructed background. Evolutionary psychologists believe the ability to recognize and deduce an object or person’s form from the environment was an advantage.
