The way we percieve the light is that one of the pictures of feet make the light appear from one way and the second from the other so if you were to take the picture and rotate it they would change and the indented ones would become the protruding ones same with the buttons.

Our brain seems to have a lot of theese ideas of how things are, probably to more quickly and precisely recognise things. And it just falls back on some of theese assumptions when in doubt. It’s like that picture of the man with the upside-down mouth/eyes.
