The image above has left many people completely stumped. I’ll admit, it threw me off at first too. Much like the viral “duvet cover” optical illusion that circulated earlier this week, this seemingly ordinary sunny picture of three friends is hiding something that isn’t immediately obvious.

Need a hint? The mystery doesn’t lie with the women themselves—there are no extra hands, missing limbs, or strange body parts. It’s not about the park in the background either. In fact, it’s not so much about what you see, but what’s missing. Have you figured it out yet?

Take a closer look. Notice anything strange? That’s right—the park bench these women appear to be sitting on seems to be missing its seat. It looks as if the women are suspended in mid-air, as if perched on an invisible bench!

This image first gained attention after being posted on Imgur via a Reddit thread and was later picked up by the Daily Mail. People across the internet have been trying to figure out exactly what’s going on. Some think it might be a clever Photoshop trick, while others believe there’s a practical explanation. The Daily Mail speculated that the bench could have pullout seats that the women are sitting on, making it look like they’re floating.

Regardless of the explanation, the image plays a fun trick on our minds, forcing us to question what we’re really seeing. Whether it’s a Photoshop trick or some cleverly designed seating, it certainly makes you think that invisible furniture could be the next big trend!

It appears that there’s no actual seat on the park bench, and that the women are suspended above the ground by an invisible bench.
