This is why we see faces in many inanimate objects.


Take a scavenger hunt to see where you can find faces and take pictures to upload here and explain why this "face" interested you and why you think it is that humans see themselves wherever they look.

And I think most people associate a face with two similar objects for eyes and a longer object for a mouth in most cases

I see this because there is an indent in where an eyeball would go, and then a curve outwards looking like a nose. There is one more curve to finish the face, resembling a chin. The spacing and size of the curves resemble the outline of a face, wich is a familiar image in my head explaining why i interpreted the shape in this way. This resembles a serious face to me wich is why it stood out most for me.

And the place to put the dollar is the mouth. It kind of reminds me of Domo but not. By the library, the vending machines.

I thought the branches made scrunched eyebrows and the bottom made kind of like a bleh kind of expression. It resonated with me because sometimes i wake up and im like “ugh today” and i feel like this really represents that feeling of that
