Upon observing an image, the viewer wonders, "What is it?" and "What is the meaning?" The mind needs to make sense of the world. In order to understand, one must call forth associations and use what's already known to gain meaning upon the unknown. The viewer experiences competing perceptions when viewing an image. A person's age, beliefs, culture, educational background, experiences, expectations, interests, memories, religious background and values all drive perception to create a bias toward what one sees.
