I have no idea what this is supposed to be/do. I see 4 silver forks on a purple towel. Is there something reflected in the metal of the forks?
Some people can’t see the forks until they are told that this is forks. To me it looked like some weird purple things in maybe an industrial setting, being dipped in something. Until I read forks in the comments, then the background and foreground reversed for me and I immediately saw the forks.
Exactly the same for me here, industrial setting and all. Now I cannot see at all what I first saw and the forks and towel are obvious.
I can re-see it if I hide the fork tines
It looked to me like dripping dollops of some kind of purple substance running down maybe a translucent surface, then I looked at the top and my brain recognized the tines and the image sort of popped inside out and yeah I can't bring back the "original" image.
I can see the original weird purple things if I scroll down to cut off the tines and then slowly bring it back up to the full picture. Brains are fun.
i didn't see the forks until I read your comment.
You must be the chosen one.
