Math Photo: 4s + 6s = 8s

I can’t recall ever seeing this tiling before. It reminds me of the Old Woman / Young Woman optical illusion: Sometimes I see overlapping octagons and sometimes I see disjoint hexagons and squares. The photo also seems impossible to straighten: No matter how I rotate it, it always appears crooked in some way.
