Image analysis
The figure is the replica of the optical illusion painting made by the Russian artist Vladimir Kush. In it, it is possible to visualize a knife, a caterpillar, a butterfly or an apple. What do you see first?

- Do
If you saw the knife first, it means that you have a great fear of terminal illness and death from it. In the same way, it means that you have an enormous fear of growing old and dying as a result of health problems.
- Caterpillar
If you first visualized the caterpillar in the optical illusion, this indicates that you are afraid of evil and evil spirits, the famous ghosts. In this way, you are afraid of the invisible and feel that hidden beings can haunt you.
- Butterfly
The butterfly indicates that you have a greater inner fear than other people. You are afraid of being betrayed by people close and dear to you. As a consequence, you don't trust people and damage your relationships. This may be a defense mechanism of your subconscious. That is, as a result of betrayals that may have occurred at different times in his life, as well as rejections, igniting the fear that it would happen again.
- Litter
Seeing the apple first indicates that you are afraid of death. Thus, dying scares you more than anything else, because it is a reality that you do not like, although it is inevitable. This fear can be present for several reasons: Either because you lost a loved one recently and you think you might be next, or because you follow news related to deaths, etc. It is even possible that death is often in your dreams.
Fear is natural and part of human life, it was responsible for the maintenance and survival of the species. However, fears that paralyze us must be discovered so that they can be worked on and allow us to live a full and happy life. So, did the optical illusion help you discover new fears or recognize an old one?
