At first glance, a portrait of the iconic singer can be seen, but a closer look reveals that his facial features consist of interesting elements.
Lennon’s face is bisected by two hooded figures who appear to be at odds with each other.
To the right a veiled figure can be seen leaning on the bat-wing shape that forms part of Lennon’s hair.
You may notice that the figure on the left is quite different.
This appears to be an angelic figure dressed in a white dress with feathered wings at her side.
Both figures are highlighted by the halos that make up Lennon’s iconic round-rimmed glasses.
You may see a third smaller figure in the middle surrounded by hooded figures.
This boy appears to be playing the guitar and looking at a sheet of paper.
The boy may represent a younger version of John Lennon, as he appears to be playing music over the words “Imagine.”
The two hooded figures could represent different aspects of the singer’s life, both his darker trials and his lighter contributions to the art world.
The Dark Side could also allude to Lennon’s untimely death in 1980.
This occurs when another Venetian mask optical illusion has a hidden second perspective.
The image, originally produced by Gianni Sarcone, Courtney Smith, and Marie-Jo Waeber, may appear to be a blurred face behind a mask.
However, many people may not have noticed that the main features of the mask are actually made up of a man and a woman kissing.
The Illusion of the Year contest posted this image saying, “When a viewer perceives two individual faces, their brain will ‘switch’ between two possible interpretations of the mask, causing the viewer to perceive two faces or one face alternately.”
“This type of illusion, in which the viewer experiences two equally possible alternate stable states of perception, is called a ‘bistable illusion.'”
An animated version of this illusion was also presented by Dr. Arquímedes in the competition for the best illusion of the year 2011.
The video explains that “masks are means of communication for our subconscious.”
The animation separates the two faces to reveal the illusion, explaining that “this illusion is a tribute to all the Romeos and Juliets in the world.”
This comes when another stunning optical illusion reveals your secret weakness when it comes to your love life.
And this optical illusion could reveal whether or not you’re a control freak, depending on which image you see first.
