Us by John Langdon
John Langdon painted this figure-ground ambigram, which he titled Us, way back in 1996. What is the first thing that you see when you look at this painting? Do you see the words Me or You? It’s impossible to see both at once since the word You occupies the negative space inside the word Me. So in reality, you can never actually see Me and You (Us) at the same time.
