Here is an example of a representational image. Clearly someone had the intent of making a realistic image, probably either copied in some way from either a picture or someone was there and took the time to sketch it out. It is a direct copy of something that someone saw. This is some of the most impressive representational pieces because it requires more detail that the other representational levels. There isn't very much guessing or questioning of what the picture is or what it represents. There is enough detail to know what it is, however the new questions are who, what, when, where, and how.
This is a picture of my friend in the military, who's workout is to carry a cross. This is very symbolic in many ways because religion itself creates enormous amounts symbolism. Especially in institutions such as the military or prison, religion is commonly found. The fact that he is carrying this huge cross gives a sense of discipline which will benefit him in the long run.
This is an abstract picture of something that is very questionable, yet very pleasing to the eye due to the effects. Small things can be picked out by the viewer such as a flower combined with the curvature of the overall piece. This picture's intent is to make you feel through question, rather than immediately knowing what it is. It is inspirational, and represented differently by each person who views it.
