As a joke, they say that seeing faces in surrounding objects is a sign of an impending mental disorder. But the authors of this instagram channel show: such observation can also be the basis for creativity.
In these photographs, you can see how ordinary objects acquire the features of a human appearance. An ordinary bag, a trash can or a piece of wood - all these things look at us as if they were alive.
Why does a person have the ability to discern faces everywhere?
This phenomenon is called pareidolia. A person who is characterized by pareidolia constantly sees human faces in the surrounding objects. Some scientists believe that this phenomenon arose in our ancestors in the process of evolution. Ancient people lived in a dangerous world. It was critically important for them from afar to consider who was approaching them - friend or enemy, man or woman, sad person or joyful. Otherwise, one could pay with life.
And some scientists even believe that the division of matter into living and nonliving cannot be correct. Be that as it may, such photographs are always entertaining. After all, they allow you to look at the world from a different angle. By the way, a cup standing nearby or a pipe sticking out in the bathroom do not want to tell you anything?
