Art Gallery Visit: Perception and Interpretation

During a visit to an art gallery, Alex is intrigued by a collection of abstract paintings. He finds himself drawn to a particular piece that seems to depict a group of birds flying in the sky, even though the painting is composed of seemingly random shapes and colors. He is also fascinated by a large sculpture that appears to be three-dimensional when viewed from a certain angle, but is actually flat.
