You can see the three dots as a progression, (1), (2) and (3). But once you see 
that white dot in the red field as being a head in a strung up body, that view will dominate in your perception. We’ve faced this dominance before, in “Black Dot Anthropocentrism.”
The artist, Bruce Hatton Boyer, may not have seen this anthropomorphism when he placed the three dots. The red field was almost certainly not painted as suggesting a humanoid. But these associations happen in the painting process. And then what!?
