What to Look For

• Lovers in the trunk
• Elders in the branches
• Children near the roots

Each face emerges slowly, rewarding closer inspection.

The Art Behind the Illusion

Artists blend contours, textures, and line weights to shift your focus between tree and face. This optical trick stimulates your brain, boosts creativity, and sparks curiosity.

• Try sketching your own by blending human features into natural shapes

Final Thought

These illusions remind us that nature is full of stories—if we take the time to look. Next time you pass a tree, pause. A hidden face might just be staring back.
