An example for the appearance of shapes through additional forms that are not actually closed, but support the impression of a closed form in between them.
Because our eyes always try to see shapes, we can see a shape without it being fully closed. In this example a corner is missing. Can you still see the triangle?

The "Law of closure". > The law of closure states that individuals perceive objects such as shapes, letters, pictures, etc., as being whole when they are not complete. Specifically, when parts of a whole picture are missing, our perception fills in the visual gap. > [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology#Pr.C3.A4gnanz)

The "Law of Continuity". We tend to see the obvious form. In this example we see two lines crossing. Not 2 lines bouncing of one another.

Differences between elements are percept as bigger as they are. Both of these rectangles have the same size. The white one has the same size as the black one. Just by standing on a different ground it "blows up".
