Impossible figures are visual representations that create an optical illusion, making them appear to be three-dimensional objects that cannot exist in real space. These figures challenge our understanding of perspective and spatial relationships, often leading to a dissonance between how they are perceived and how they would function in the physical world. They reveal the complexities of visual perception and the limitations of our cognitive interpretation of spatial arrangements.
