So, neck or back?

The innocuous photo shows a young woman sitting from behind on a mattress, but with the angle of view, an optical illusion appears and plays on our nerves.

Depending on where you look, you will see either a bare back or the nape of a neck. If you focus on the hair, you will see a rather long neck. But if you focus on the bare part, you will see a naked woman.
