Like Pac-Man: A "Munching the Morsel" Motif

Photo date: December 24, 2019. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see six repetitions of a pattern we may call a "munching the morsel" motif.  It looks like a kind of a Pac-man head (consisting of an eye and a big mouth) about to munch on a little morsel of food in the middle of the mouth.   If you go to www.pixabay.com, and search for "Pac man," you will see two similar-looking shapes of a Pac-man head about to munch a morsel.

At the 4:02 mark in the video below you can see my camera viewfinder while I photographed this pattern.
