Mysterious Dance Tessellation by Makoto Nakamura
In this tessellation pattern by Makoto Nakamura, black and white mysterious dancers occupy a space with no gaps or overlaps.
While it is a nice pattern, even more interesting is the animation that he created to accompany the design. It shows the two sets of dancers taking turns showing off their dance moves. Watching it leads to an almost hypnotic feeling.
If you enjoyed this pattern, be sure to check out Nakamura’s Marathon tessellation that was featured about a year ago. Another optical illusion worth another look is the ballerina optical illusion that features a dancer that appears to spin in both directions simultaneously.
