solid, well-defined objects standing out against a less distinct background.

proximity

proximity proximity proximity proximity
closure closure closure
the unconscious need to complete an incomplete object
the subtle directions masked-in to an object meant to grab the eye into fooling the brain that the thing
has movement. though it is

translation translation translation
translation
Simply moving an object across a plane whilst keeping the size, shape, color, and other physical attributes the same.
rotation rotation rotation
rotation
the act of moving an object a certain number of degrees any which way so long as there is an axis on which the object sits
reflection reflection reflection
reflection

dilation dilation dilation
