Research - Seeing faces

"Pareidolia, as this experience is known, is by no means a recent phenomenon. Leonardo da Vinci described seeing characters in natural markings on stone walls, which he believed could help inspire his artworks."

As mentioned in the post before, I kept seeing faces in my drawing exercises, so i further researched the reason behind why our brains seem to pick out faces from everyday objects, shapes, textures etc.

As I'd like to develop environments on 3D using a surreal approach, my next step is to take photos of landscapes both of nature and urban areas and see what i can see within the images themselves, then highlight areas that stand out to me.
