Gestalt Theory - Closure

Closure — The mind may experience elements it does not perceive through sensation, in order to complete a regular figure (that is, to increase regularity).
In this image we look at it and see a orb/circle covered in spikes like a mine.
Our mind finds it difficult not to see this, it tries to make sense of it by filling in the areas in which we think should be there.


In this image, we don't see a selection of circles and unfinished circles, our mind looks at the center of this image, and forms a square. This illustrates closure. 


This image of a friendship necklace shows the theory of closure, our mind brings the two halves together. 


And again in this image of the Unilever logo, out mind closes the objects edges to make the "U" but this images also shows the principles of proximity and similarity.
