This is Laurel and Yanny all over again…
If there’s anything the internet loves it’s disagreeing about things.
This week’s bone of contention? This image.
What do you see when you look at it?
Some online are convinced that it looks like a beach at night – the bottom third of the picture is sand with waves rushing in. Above that, a murky sea and a dark sky.
Mind-blowingly, it’s just an optical illusion. The image is really of a battered car door in need of repair.
The ‘sand’ is actually the ground under the car, the ‘waves’ are the edge of the door that’s been damaged and the sea and sky are just the body of the car.
It was shared by a Twitter user named Nayem, who reckons that anyone who sees a beach in the image is an artist.

As it turns out, what you see here may just be down to whether the right or the left side of your brain is more dominant, according to Metro.
The left side of your brain is the logical side that focuses on carrying out tasks while the right side is your creative side – so Nayem wasn’t lying when he said that if you see the beach, you’re an artist.
