Forced perspective is a technique which captures optical illusions, op art, to make objects seem farther away, closer, larger, or smaller than they are. Human visual perception is influenced by observing these relationships.

These illusions trick our brain into misunderstanding what we see in various ways. Sometimes, we may want to study our optical perspective of our care receiver, understanding leads to compassion and love. Questioning our perspective enables us to obtain a level of awareness, helping us appreciate why our care receiver behaves or thinks a certain way.

Look closely – I totally missed this one.

Look again. Do you see a cow in a pasture poking her head over the wire mesh fencing?

Her two eyes are begging us to see her!
