(from http://www.gestaltqueensland.org.au/gestalt_approach.htm)
Gestalt is a form of therapy/ psychology using positive and negative space. The patient is examined by which forms they see first and more clearly in the image. In the above image, the positive space forms a vase, while the negative space forms two faces. The positive and negative space both evoke a different image.

Actually, the black is the positive, but in a "gestalt" approach, the negative space is active enough to function as a positive shape simultaneously. But I like that you put this in your own words and didn't just quote your source.
