Representation Quotes

Representation is not just a mirror reflecting reality; it is a lens that shapes it, choosing what to show and what to hide. It is the art of embodying ideas, people, and concepts, and it carries within it immense power to mold perception, amplify certain voices, and silence others. Reflect on these profound quotes that deconstruct layers of meaning, explore how images are constructed, and reveal the impact of narrative on our collective consciousness.
