Gestalt- Pragnanz

Simply put, it means “good form”, it demonstrates that humans tend to organize shapes to simple forms. This means figures are seen as their simple elements instead of complicated shapes. 

This means images that are ambiguous and complex, are interpreted as simple shapes by humans. 

Pragnanz:

is symmetrical 
contains the simplest shapes possible
contains the fewest number of shapes

An example of this is, emoticons.

We simplify these shapes and it is only with the other elements of Gestalt that we are able to recognize the face that is made from these simple shapes.
