It Takes Two for Love Illusion

Sean McLeary quoted here: “This is a really cool illusion of two faces, I’m not going to tell you where they are, you need to figure that out yourself.” It was an easy one Sean, I spotted both of them immediately, but what made this illusion interesting, is the meaning behind it. I won’t try and guess what the author of this image below had in mind, and believe it is best if everyone who saw it made their own little story. This way everyone is a winner. I am really interested what you guys think. If you observe the picture a little longer you will find few more illusions beneath. Like for example, seeing only one person gives impression of a broken heart, the other part can be seen as a shadow, etc. What I like about this website, is the comments section, and how often your comments can start a real debate, and point to meanings and things I never managed to perceive. Lets see what comes out of this one.

I’m not sure weather I should place this one in Multiple Meanings category, or rather inside Spot The Object one. What can you suggest? Would different category suit this one better? Help!

  1. Taylor I don’t think so, exept for a shadow if you look at it hard. I think it should be in multiple meanings.

  2. i can kind of see a face facing the other way (in an outline of the guys hair)but i dont see anything in the stripes.leave it in spot the object

  3. I think the hair from the person on the left, is the background from the face. The white area has a face on every side ( left and right)

  4. omg yall are so stupid it represents 2 people with a broken heart the whole picture together is a heart there are to people and where there is two different sides to the heart it represents the broken heart one of there faces makes a line down the middle and it breaks the heart

  5. Hmmm I dunno, I can kind of see the face in the hair, but its not very easy to see.

    I say put it in the Spot the Object section. Keep the illusions coming!

  6. This might even be made a bit more interesting.
    Men and women prefer different colors, so if the backgrounds were made blue and red, instead of red and black, we could create three levels of looks/meaning.

  7. I can’t believe ya’ll didn’t get it on the first try. It’s way too obvious.

  8. It’s funny how the people who think it’s stupid can’t see the whole illusion. Well, it’s more pathetic than funny.

  9. i have a problem… the black area could be the womans hair without problem. maybe it should be in the 30’s or sth but still could be… the stripped part is just there to be there so we can have a heart? i see the faces but i cant see it like a hat or sth for the man…

  10. the meaning i grab from this is…
    that a heart (love) cannot be full without 2 complete people working together for it. they cant just be 1 person doing all the love it takes 2. ok sry got too deep there lol

  11. o.k. last post 4 2day!

    Vurdlak I think you should put it in the multiple meanings category cause if you think about it it fits in Way better than spot the object

  12. in some tv programs if a boy or a girl is in love that person sometimes ends up having illusional visions of the person they admire with a really light background or a love heart background.
    (i hope that made at least a bit of scence)

  13. this is pretty coll but i’m wondering if its leagle to put something with a TM on this website

  14. Stare at the center of the heart, do not mind the faces, just stare at the center for about 45 seconds, then quickly look at a white plain background such as a wall. Blinking will help as well.

    You get the illusion of a broken heart, one side light blue (Used often to represent male) and the other side pink (Used often to represent female).

    I’m sure you’re all familar with the blue/pink , male/female relationship…

    Either way, to all those who say this is a bad illusion – grow up.

    I thought this was wonderful, because at first glance, it IS very simplistic. But take some time to explore it, and there is SO much more.

  15. I only saw one face, mind pointing out the other? Did u chek out the aims window frame? later, its 10:00 lol

  16. Well if you stare at the centre for about 20 – 30 seconds and then look away and glimmer your eyes, then you see one heart.

  17. Woo! First comment on here!! ((not first comment on picture, first comment i’ve posted since i found this site.))
    anyways…
    Well i saw both faces immediately. And i do think it has something to do with a broken heart.

  18. i see them. Most people would spot the girl looking right first, plus the black part of the heart is probably her hair, but if you look at the black hair, you can see the second face looking away from the stipes! IM SOOO SMART :)

  19. ok i think its obvious that there is a man and womans face and the stripes are orignally there to create the heart… however, i noticed soemtihng…

    cross your eyes.

    it might help…. i believe they end up kissing in the end if you do it correctly!!!

  20. The faces are not centered. The face on the right is more into the heart that the face on the left. if the heart were broken the person on the striped side would be more mended. There is also the fact that the black side is a man, and the striped side is a woman, the artist could have been trying to illustrate that woman have more compassion than men or that woman are easier to mend a broken heart than men, this illusion has so much theories. It’s very interesting.

  21. It is a broken heart because there are 3 people there. the black facing right; the white facing left and the white facing right. The men are facing each other. The woman is looking away.

  22. If you read the paragraph for almost ten seconds then sharply look at the picture, you can see the paragraph, behind the stripes. idk if thats an illusion or not, but i thought it was pretty cool. Keep it up :)

  23. pick me!! pick me!! ok i get it!
