Ambiguity

This illusion is of a shifting gestalt: sometimes a rabbit is seen, sometimes a duck.
My wife and my mother-in-law: Another famously ambiguous illusion
All is Vanity by Charles Allan Gilbert: It is a memento mori-themed painting, it actually depicts a woman gazing into a boudoir mirror, however, we have the illusion to see the perfect form of a human skull as well.

Ambiguity means that what a thing is, is not clear. Literally, the word refers to a choice between two different things. In the proper sense it should mean "two different meanings" because "ambi-" comes from the Greek word for "two".
