Looking to the left reveals the right half of the nose, here shown with an exaggerated depiction of a button nose. If the gaze quickly shifts back and forth to the left, for example, due to external stimuli, a dancing movement is created through the afterimage effect (Mouseover).

Looking to the right reveals the left half of the nose, here shown with an exaggerated depiction of a button nose. If the gaze quickly shifts back and forth to the right, for example, due to external stimuli, a dancing movement is created through the afterimage effect (Mouseover).

When the focus of the eyes is directed at a nearby object, the left and right nostrils appear as one image. If the focus of the eyes changes at regular intervals, for example, due to rhythmic shifts between near and far vision, light stimuli, fatigue, drug influence, or increased pulse from physical activities, the nostrils form an interesting and difficult-to-capture dynamic afterimage. Here, with a frequency of 120 per minute (Mouseover).
IV
When looking downward, the nostrils form two characteristic lines that taper downward. The lower boundary is defined by the cheeks. To clarify, a view of a very close object has been simulated here, which brings the nostrils even closer together.
V
When looking upwards, the nostrils, together with the upper part of the nose, form a heart. The top point is formed by the overlapping eyebrows. When looking against the sun, a rainbow appears at that spot, caused by light reflections from hair oils or evaporating sweat (Mouseover).

When the focus of the eyes is directed at a slightly more distant object, the left and right nostrils also appear as one image, but the frame of the image changes. Below, the lines of the cheeks, above, the lines of the overlapping eyebrows.
