Abstract: This photo depicts abstraction because just by looking at the form one can recognize that it is a form. It is human and it probably a woman form. This form leaves out major visual clues that can help us recognize what it is but leaves enough that we still understand. There is no head, or arms and legs. The form is shaped like an hour glass which we usually associate with a woman figure. This form depicts any woman and not me or you.
Symbol: This picture signifies a butterfly because the object is shaped just like a typical butterfly we recognize from experience. It is also made from currency which butterflies aren't usually depicted as. It does not specify what species this butterfly may be. Its shape signifies every butterfly.
Representation: The picture represents a cat. More importantly when we see this photo we can recognize this as a house cat. We know from experience that have whiskers and paws which help us recognize what we are looking at. We also know that this is a house cat because wild or big cats are not usually depicted inside a house or wearing a collar. This picture is also taken close up so we can assume that this is a "safe" cat because usually pictures taken of large or wild cats are taken far away or behind a barrier so we do not risk getting hurt.
