This demonstration of the Ponzo optical illusion is ever so slightly mindblowing
The Ponzo Illusion is a trick of perspective that makes two identically sized objects appear to be different sizes when placed on converging lines. So far, so dry.
It was made a little more understandable and a lot more entertaining by Andrei Dofomin on Instagram.
Visualization of the Ponzo optical illusion: your mind judges an object's size based on its background.

We have no idea what the text or commentary mean, but we can see for ourselves that the Ponzo Illusion is a bit of a head-wrecker.

The Ponzo optical illusion is fascinating! It’s amazing how our brains interpret size based on background context, reminding us that perception can be easily influenced.
