Gestalt (Proximity/Similarity)

The above photo is an incomparable example of the Gestalt theory in action. This particular image shows the power of proximity. The objects all shaped like people are perceived as being together as one tree because of their closeness and uniformity. One could also argue that this picture shows a great deal of similarity, simply because each individual form shares the same visual characteristics of size, color, and shape.
