Have you ever stared at a photo, blinked in confusion, tilted your head, and thought, “What am I even looking at?” Congratulations—you’ve just fallen under the spell of an optical illusion.
These visual tricks aren’t just playful images; they offer a fascinating peek into how our brains decode the world around us.

Whether it’s a motionless image that seems to spin, or shapes that appear to warp or float, optical illusions show how easily our senses can be fooled.
In this article, we’re unveiling 15 of the most mind-bending illusions that challenge everything you think you see.
