Interposition, also known as overlap, is a visual cue that allows us to perceive depth. When one object partially blocks or obscures the view of another object, we perceive the blocking object as being closer. Gabriella used this cue when she noticed the barn partially obscuring the farmhouse, leading her to conclude that the barn was closer.
