Law of Prägnanz

 

The Law states that "of several geometrically possible organizations the one will actually occur which possesses the best, simplest, and most stable shape"

 

The Penrose triangle illustrated in the picture plays with this idea. The image assumes that the triangle is only 2d, seemingly impossible. As you follow the color and lines around, the color gives the impression of depth, which it has, just impossible to see from this perspective.
