Find a Visual Metaphor for a Complex Idea

You're trying to explain something abstract and watching people's eyes glaze over. This hands you five different visual metaphors for your idea, each pulled from a different angle, so the concept lands instead of bouncing off. Good for the slide you can't make stick or the explanation that keeps needing three more sentences.
