Create an image of a group of people floating in space, each person appearing as a distorted optical illusion, blending seamlessly with the stars and galaxies of the universe.

Picture a group of diverse individuals, making sure to include individuals of black, white, Hispanic, South Asian, and Middle-Eastern descents with equal probability. Both genders should be represented equally. They are all floating in the vast expanse of space, each one appearing as a distorted optical illusion. This gives them an otherworldly, mesmerizing effect as they blend seamlessly with the distant stars and galaxies that form the backdrop of the universe. Each person's form, though distorted, still maintaining their unique identities, illustrates a beautiful harmonization between humanity and the cosmos.
