“Cloud Ghosts” by Richard Riemerschmid (1897)

The phenomenon in which we humans recognize shapes in natural or artificial formations like clouds, buildings, rocks and the like is called Pareidolia. It is best exemplified in the Rorschach test.

It’s been theorized this ability was a result of natural selection favoring those with the ability to recognize emotions and identifying mental states, giving an individual the upper hand in combat or social settings.
