Runner Up: Crocs & Socks (Pascal Wallisch and Michael Karlovich)

Bringing into question our perception of color and fashion, Pascal Wallisch and Michael Karlovich’s Crocs & Socks illusion is reminiscent of the infamous “what color is this dress?” debate of 2015. In normal lighting, people see a pair of pink Crocs worn with white socks to be their true color. But under green lighting, while most observers see the Crocs as grey instead, some are able to look past the added tint and see both the socks and Crocs as their proper color. Not every superhero wears a cape.
