If we stare at a pattern for a sufficient amount of time, our brains will cause the pattern to spontaneously reorganize itself.
Many psychologists believed that humans' pattern recognition abilities exist to aid us in our survival. This ability make us able to quickly identify possible danger/occurrences from several sign, which will help us to produce faster fight or flight response.
The orthogonal lines in the work merge at the vanishing point. In a perspective drawing, the artist uses parallel diagonal lines which meet and diminish to a vanishing point. These lines are called orthogonal and create the perspective and a more realistic view. The vanishing point offers the painting a three-dimensional look.
