nondescribable
Cannot be depicted
Nondescribable means incapable of being described or put into words.
The term is a less common variant of indescribable, typically appearing in technical or formal contexts: The sensation was nondescribable.
Both words convey the same meaning—something beyond the reach of language—though indescribable predominates in everyday use.
