Optical illusions have always fascinated us, don’t they? They tap into the natural workings of our brain, causing confusion and presenting seemingly impossible images.
Thanks to advancements in technology and a better understanding of the brain, creating optical illusions has become much easier. And with the rise of the Internet and social media, people are constantly drawn to these captivating images. Recently, a photographer named Tiziana Vergari stirred up a minor debate online with a relatively simple image.
Tiziana Vergari, a professional photographer from Switzerland, was working on an awareness campaign that aimed to showcase the uniqueness of women through art. Among the series of photographs she captured, one particular image caught people’s attention. In this image, young women are seen sitting in what appears to be a dressing room, surrounded by mirrors.
The illusion in the picture is quite common. The mirror next to the women reflects another mirror on the opposite side, creating an infinite series of nested reflections. This prompted a debate on social media about the actual number of young women in the photograph.
When you take a closer look at the picture, the answer becomes quite clear. There are two girls sitting beside each other between the mirrors. By matching their facial features and poses with those in the distant reflections, you can see that it is indeed just two girls. However, some people still claimed that the illusion showed dozens of different women or was the result of special effects.
