Ah, the great debate: Blue bubbles vs. green bubbles.
What do you see in this optical illusion? The answer says a lot about you
Most people love a good optical illusion, visual puzzle or something that makes you stare intently at a blurry image until a 3D picture emerges. Some people can find it hard to see the correct image, indicating how their brains work.
Do you remember the enormous online debate about whether the dress was black and white or blue and gold? That all had to do with the rods and cones in the viewer’s eyes. No two humans are alike, so some people see it differently from others.
But can an image reveal your personality simply by looking at it? Read on to see how this image is putting that to the test.
Here’s the backstory
Before you look at the picture, there are a few things that you should know. First, the origin of the illustration isn’t given, but sifting through several sources pointed to it being the work of Australian illustrator Karl Kwasny.
Even though the image first appeared on his Tumblr page years ago, that hasn’t stopped many from reading into the (possibly) hidden, more profound meaning. And it’s easy to see why, as a rather eerie poem accompanies the original illustration.
The line “Deep in the forest, where heavy feet sink, you mightn’t be quite as alone as you think” is enough to send shivers down anybody’s spine. Regardless of all that, look at the image below and note the first thing you see.

There is nothing sinister about seeing the skull first, as self-empowerment and relationship website Your Tango explains. Instead, it could mean that “your most significant strength is your intellectual prowess.”
Skulls have also been used as good luck charms to ward off illness and guard against evil spirits in many cultures. For example, in Christianity, skulls often symbolize wisdom and one’s awareness of their mortality.
