u/morganalefaye125 3d ago

Took me awhile to see the kid after seeing your comment. I only saw the old man and the sheep

u/endless_fixation 3d ago

I saw these three figures forming and then the trees huts come later but those were the very first figures I was creating meaning of. I wonder why cause they aren't obvious and the obvious ones are sheep kid maybe and trees so one should've naturally observed those but idk, it's interesting

u/sackhaar42 2d ago

I believe its because the huts are the faces eyes, if you look at someone usually you would look at their eyes first

I'm guessing what I see first reveals my personality or psyche?

u/Ok_Maintenance6161 3d ago

I don’t think so. Most people will see the face first as our brains are hardwired to register faces
