    The document discusses how the same image can take on different meanings depending on context. It provides two examples of a bike image - one used as a sign for safe driving universally and another specifically promoting tourism to Pangong Lake in Ladakh. By adding or removing text around the image, its meaning and interpretation can change, showing how context fixes the signification of visuals.

    In this above image we can see that a bikes image is used in two different places

    If we Remove the texts in the same image we can know that these two images are different and mean
    different things.

    But as we add texts it fixes the meaning and the interpretation that anyone will take after looking at
    these pictures.

    1st image is a sign board for Safe driving which is used all over the world but the 2 nd picture is specific to
    ladakh tourism as it shows pangong lake on of the most visited spots in ladakh. So same images can be
    used different places and it can signify different meanings
