 MY EXAMPLE as an EKPHRASIS*                   
                             
the
image
triggering
stark sensations
drawn by the simple abstract shapes

* my wide interpretation of EKPHRASIS*extends beyond  a piece of art to include the artist ,styles of art,history of art AND MUSIC& similar creativity
