superimposing
Placing image over
Superimposing is placing one thing on top of another so both remain visible or conceptually present.
In film and photography, superimposing layers images together: The director superimposed the ghost over the living actors.
More broadly, it means applying one framework onto another: She was superimposing her own experiences onto her daughter's situation.
