Petal Heart stereogram
A heart suspended in falling petals — medium rose, blush and coral petals with a light scattering of pollen on a soft mauve field. Rendered live with a fixed seed (petals, depth 24, seed 20261003), so it looks identical on every visit.

Rendered locally in your browser — nothing is downloaded from or uploaded to a server. Stuck? Open "Reveal answer" to see the depth map you are looking for, then fold it away and try again.
Hold the screen at arm's length and look through it, as if focusing on something behind the glass. The pattern will blur, double, and then snap into depth. New to this? The two-dot drill in How to View makes it much easier.
What is hidden in this image
A single upright heart — the same smooth, symmetric depth shape used in the generator's default piece and in the Leaping Heart exhibit. It is one of the friendliest subjects for first-time viewers: no thin parts, no fine detail, just one rounded form lifting off the surface.
About the Petals texture
Petals is a procedural pattern of small and medium flower petals drifting across a soft mauve field. Each medium petal has a complete curved outline with gentle shading — lighter toward the tip — in rose, light pink, coral and cream. Smaller companion petals, a few muted green accents and a quiet dusting of pollen fill the gaps. No single large flower dominates the frame; the even scatter of little shapes is what gives the eyes enough anchors to fuse the image.
Why this pairing
A heart under falling petals is the gallery's most romantic piece — it suits spring, Valentine's and gift occasions without any text. Compared with the confetti original, the palette is warmer and softer, and the petal shapes give the surface an organic, fabric-like feel while the heart itself is identical in shape and depth.
Where to look first
The heart's two upper lobes are the easiest landmark: let the repeating petals fuse, and the lobes usually pop first, followed by the point at the bottom. If the whole surface seems to shimmer, relax your gaze and let it drift rather than hunting for the outline.
What may be hard to see
The petal texture is deliberately low-contrast against its base so the colours stay gentle; in bright sunlight a dim phone screen can wash it out, so shade the screen or raise brightness if the surface looks flat. Difficulty is an easy piece in our editorial judgement — a guideline, not a measured success rate.
