unpicturable
Defies visual representation
Unpicturable describes something that cannot be adequately represented in a picture or visual image—either because it's too abstract, too vast, or too elusive to capture visually: the unpicturable depths of grief, an unpicturable concept like infinity.
The word emphasizes the limits of visual representation when confronting certain ideas or experiences.
