The light is in our eyes...

When I was a kid on vacation we went into a "Fun House" where water flowed uphill and where it was hard to stay on the floor and other such effects.

The interior of the house was actually build at an angle and sometimes you were walking on the floor when it appeared you were walking on the walls, etc.

If the visual cues are just right it's easy to fool our eyes/brain.

If you're not very smart it's easy to do this all of the time.

The forced perspective rooms also provide the illusion that a person in one corner of the room is physically larger than someone standing in an opposing corner.

Some spinning silhouettes likewise can make it impossible for our brains to determine in which direction it is spinning. Putting a few of those inside of one of those forced perspective rooms, and a few spinning Rick and Morty style wormholes projected onto a hovering holographic cloud in the center would be a dazzling work of art the likes of which Andy Warhole would have no doubt enjoyed taking LSD in while listening to the drum solo in Iron Butterfly's "In a Gada da Vida".

Someone should make this. I want to see it before I go completely blind or mad or something...

But the thread digresses. Sorry QQ; you were saying?...

How about you try a simple reasoning test...
"If what we see is interpreted from light data entering our eyes and extrapolated externally by our brains is what we see "objective" or "subjective"?

Ah! My eyes aren't connected to my brain!

Well I guess if I'm my own brain it's objective. If my eyes are trying to comprehend when information my brain received then it's subjective...
