2 Faces

Positive and negative versions of the mask only differ in the position of the assumed light source, and a face is such a strong percept that it overcomes the “history” which is the only cue that the face is negative.
These are words from Roger Garrett.
This work inspired my idea and the designer of this work is Michael Bach.
