Do You See Faces In Everyday Objects?
Scientists have looked into this carefully and they think that it has to do with the way that we display our emotions and interact socially. It may even be associated with the creation of artwork. Using the brain’s capacity in this way to find meaning where there may be no meaning is just something that keeps us going.
There is also an artistic side of Pareidolia that needs to be considered. Artists will sometimes use the ability to find things that are hidden in nature and unusual objects to create something phenomenal. They may even use that natural ability to look for faces in strange places as a form of art.
So if you happen to see something familiar when you are in someplace unfamiliar, don’t feel strange. It’s just a matter of you utilizing your brain in a way that makes you feel more human.
