This optical illusion was shared on Instagram by user Rishi Draws. The video opens to show him explaining that he loved the film Barbie and decided to make an optical illusion of his favourite character, Ken. The video further shows an image of Ken drawn on an iPad. The user explains that one can only see the illusion with eyes closed. But how? A person needs to concentrate on the dot drawn in the illusion, and later close their eyes to see the image.

In the caption of the post, Rishi Draws wrote, "Mind Blowing Barbie Movie Optical Illusion! Who was your favorite character from the movie?"

Watch this unique optical illusion here:

An individual wrote, "Oh God every time I blink, I see him now." A second commented, "I think my eyes are broken, I can't stop seeing Ken!" A third shared, "I did it! It was more of a long squint than blinking that helped me see it!" A fourth posted, "Ryan Gosling is now imprinted in my retina, thanks!" A fifth added, "How did you do that? I mean I’m serious that was fricking Ryan Glossing in my eyes." A sixth posted, "It’s like developing a little photo in your head." A seventh expressed, "This was such a cool experience, thank you!" An eight said, "Yes! It worked! How cool is that?"
