A photo of three women sitting on a park bench is going viral—not for who’s in it, but how they’re sitting. At first glance, it looks like a normal snapshot. But look closer: there’s no seat under them. The women appear to be floating, with nothing visibly supporting them.
The illusion first surfaced on Reddit and spread across platforms like Imgur and the Daily Mail. Theories range from expert Photoshop editing to a specially designed bench with hidden support slats or retractable panels camouflaged from view.
One user summed it up: “After you notice it, it’s impossible to ignore.”
Whether it’s a clever design or digital trickery, the photo has become the internet’s latest optical illusion obsession. So—what do you see?
