The Trompe-L'œil meme category draws its name from the centuries-old French art technique meaning 'deceive the eye.' In the digital age, this concept has evolved into a viral sensation, most notably through the 'Everything is Cake' trend or hyper-realistic street art that confuses onlookers. These memes play on the human brain's tendency to simplify visual data, leading to a comedic shock when the 'object' is revealed to be a flat surface or a completely different material. Users employ this template to comment on deception, the superficial nature of social media, or simply to showcase mind-blowing craftsmanship that defies expectation.
