Research: Gestalt Psychology

Gestalt Psychology is the theory of the human mind seeing and organizing shapes to see whole forms that might actually not be there.

 In this picture on the left the only objects that are actually there are 3 circles with pieces taken out of them. But our mind tells us that there is a triangle in the middle.









In this image on the right a three dimensional shape can be seen even though there is no such thing there.






This is what i hope to achieve with my series. I will try to photograph everyday objects that we recognize easily and then I plan to 'Light paint' behind them, but use less and less light until we can no longer recognize them.
