Get out of my head

The forks? The pepper shapes? What am I supposed to be looking at?
Well, my experience was that at first, I didn't see the forks at all. (That is to say I didn't recognize them as "forks". Or even as "things".) The forks looked like some blurry, nondescript background and the "pepper shapes" looked like foreground items hanging from something unseen off the top. The shapes didn't look really like anything I could identify. That lasted for a good 30 seconds before, very (very) suddenly, it crystalized and I could only see the forks on a purple background. Really uncanny how rapidly and entirely it shifted. After a good amount of effort, I was able to shift back to the first perception, but it took considerable effort along with looking away and back a couple of times. And once I achieved it, it felt hard to maintain. Very strange experience. Far more so than most "bistable" sort of optical illusions I've seen.
I saw it as forks immediately. Your description helped me to see the picture ”the other way”, with the pink döner in the foreground.
Exact opposite for me. Couldn't figure out what it was, and took a bit for the forks perception to stabilize after the poster said it was that.
Took me a moment but yeah I see the forks, but with little effort can revert back to the first view.
I noticed it's easier to shift back to the "pink döner" first perception if you hide the top half of the pic.
Samesies!
Coming from someone that's carved a pretty nice (and even functional) wooden fork before, I couldn't see the forks until you mentioned it.
Sigh, if only I knew how to chrome plate wood, I would have seen it much sooner..
Weird forced flex but I guess it tracks
Ah very good guide, thank you. Did not see the forks at all.
I find I can make them go away if I focus on the center of the image and lightly unfocus my eyes. But you're right - it's not without effort.
No clue how there can be seen anything else here but forks.
I was wondering what those dangling purple things were, but after i noticed the forks, I can't see what I first thought I was seeing, just as the caption says.
Ah yes, a collection of pink döner
They brought pink sauce to turkey 😭
/s
I unsaw it
What did it cost you
I can flip it back and forth in my brain. But yes, I saw the negative space as the object at first view.
Er, wut?
4 forks. Is there something else?
I was expecting loss
Leaving a comment so I can come back here when someone explains
E: I get it, the fact that it lived rent free in my head was the broken brain thing
The highest rated comment has an answer in the reply and they're both older than your comment?
Nothing to see here, moving on..
How is this loss?
For forks sake
May the fourks be with you
Initially thought it was some closeup of a micro-fluidics experiment.
This reminded me of Bev Doolittle's art.
Homer... Use the forks
