Looks clockwise to me. Edit: I wasn't able to see the counterclockwise view until I squinted my eyes.

My initial perception is clockwise, but I'm able to switch back and forth pretty easily.

what's really cool is that if you perceive it as clockwise, it's her right leg sticking out, whereas if you perceive it as ccw, it's her left.

Counter-clockwise first for me. Squinted and saw it clockwise, now I can't see it counter-clockwise again.
