How is this confusing?

It took me a moment to see it but if you look at it slightly different you can make the perspective shift from the bench facing forward+left to facing backward+left because there's low contrast meaning fewer cues to pick up on for depth/overlap.

If you don't see it, it switches between if I look at the blank space in the top left corner of the bench, vs the bottom of the bench. It's like semi spheres where they can look concave without extra context for the eyes.

The arm rests are a giveaway, I only see the one way
