This might be a stupid question but here goes.
I'm interested in the nature of images. For example, an image of a boat, presents a boat but isn't actually a boat.
Is there any further reading on this type of thing? Anything to share?
if u press ur face up against a boat it doesn't look like a boat either

That may interest you.

Is there anywhere I can read more on this?
