Hidden faces, hidden meaning

Is it just me? I seem to see faces everywhere.

What do you see in the above image? To me, it looks like the face of a person (man? woman?) who might be crying.

The legendary “La Llorona” could it be?

That is, the woman who wanders the Earth, crying…searching for the children she drowned so that she might finally enter Heaven. These were her own offspring she did away with with the hope of winning the man she loved. Even after the dreadful crime, the man, it is said, would not have her…so she drowned herself in a river.

So it is that she continues to wander Purgatory, weeping as she goes…

And perhaps here, then, is where you find her tears…
