The Elephant in the Room

We love this Magic Eye picture because it’s a great symbolic representation of what Magic Eye is all about. In the naked eye, it’s a messy picture of the Savannah, containing patterns we associate with different animals, such as zebras and giraffes.

But in the midst of all of this visual chaos, there’s an underlying cohesive image, showing a perfectly-shaped elephant. Inadvertently or not, it makes for a great metaphor of the way our eyes work: to navigate in our visually chaotic world, we need to sometimes focus on seeing just one thing, spotting the big picture.
