Monster on the wall
How does the shadow of a branch on a wall become some stuff left by a witch? Or a venomous deep sea monster? Imagination can color and give life to the grayscale sight. The shadow itself can be beautifully drawn with a right hemisphere method, but it will only be an uninspired and lifeless copy of the tree's shadow.
This image, on the other hand, is the other extreme, I used some of my very old left-hemisphere schemes and some child's imagination in it. The result is a strange, amorph creature with sticky, protruding tentacles, many mouths and teeth, and even a strange bird grows out of it. It definitely seems dangerous and scary, the spiral tentacles wrap around the man like the arms of an octopus. It is only the colors that counteract this.
Now, let's see it in BW, maybe a bit more threatening:
Inverted BW, looks like a ghost. Really creepy, tripophobic, look no further!
The black background and the strong, luminous colors make it look like some poisonous/venomous stuff, like a deep sea monster. Would you befriend such a creature?
In summary, everything is decided in our inner world. Childhood and past life memories stored in the subconscious affect our current viewpoints and imagination. Everyone sees in the picture what is true for themselves, and it can vary from individual to individual. All of these ideas make up the collective consciousness.
Finally, here is a harmless shadow on the wall:
I'm not normal! I'm a Humanoid!
