What is representation?
Representation relies on signs to convey meaning. the study of
the way that signs communicate meaning is referred to as semiotics or semiology
(carried out by Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce in the early
years of the twentieth century).
On the (most) basic level, semiotics and semiology examines the 'signs', 'meaning' and the 'person' who are reading those signs. every signs is taken to have a spesific meaning and the relationship between the sign and what is means is only fixed to spesific members. To some people an in some contexts.

It becomes obvious that a variety of word, shape, colour, etc..
All have capacity to speak, to different people in different
ways.
Your choice of your clothes for example, not only on the basis
of your 'taste' but also on the basis of the message your wish to communicate
about your self (such as when the clothes you think are sending out the message
that you are fashionable, sexy, stylish, etc). Representation, implies the
existence of a system of meaning which people write in a variety of ways to
communicate. If some people do not understand (or acknowledge this system of
meaning) then the message is lost on them.
Spoken and unspoken.
