35) Scale Confusion

Scale confusion is when there is an object in a piece that is not the correct size according to the hieratic scale, which states that things get smaller as they are further away from the viewer and bigger as they get closer.
This picture shows a donut that is a sign on a building and it is pretty large being dunked into a small cup of coffee which we know is not possible but they have created this illusion through scale confusion.
Another great example is these two girls standing on a giant banana, which is not actually a giant banana it is a banana in the foreground while they are in the background.
