depict
의미: To represent or portray someone or something in a painting, drawing, photograph, or written description.
Depict applies to both visual and verbal representation. A painting depicts a landscape; a novel depicts life in wartime London; a report depicts a bleak economic outlook. The word implies a degree of interpretation — what is depicted is shaped by the artist's or writer's perspective. It commonly collocates with 'as' (depicted as heroic, depicted as villainous) and is standard in art criticism, literary analysis, and media commentary. The noun 'depiction' is equally common.
