An ambiguous figure/ground relationship occurs when it is challenging to determine which part of an artwork represents the main subject (figure) and which part represents its background (ground).
Imagine looking at a painting where the colors and shapes blend together in such a way that it's difficult to tell what is the main subject and what is the background. It's like trying to find your way through a maze with no clear paths.
