What is from Wikipedia
A symbol is something such as an object, picture represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention. Any object has their own meaning, and there may be a different object when several objects combined together which has different meaning. For example, one word is a symbol, and many words get together, it will be a new word that has a new meaning.
A symbol's meaning may be modified by various factors including popular usage,history, and contextual intent.

EXAMPLE and My opinion
Symbolism- My work
Absolute: the word"p" in the middle means "parking", you know, in many public places there are not lots of spaces for parking, some of them limited people to parkingin carpark, so i get inspiration from this situation. And the sign means "no parking here". I think "absolute" similar with exactly, but not too strong as "exactly".
Infinite/Infinity: this sign looks like the environment protection symbol, yes, that is what i want to say. Just as environment, we should always keep our earth clear to survive generation by generation. That is a heavy work and we could not stop it. I use green because it is a health color, represent fresh and hope. You can see that arrows are directing the others before it, never stop.
Blind: i really have no idea about this one. Finally i think about the letter "b", i'm not sure if it is work. but it is simple and darkness enough, normally there are two holes inside letter "b", and i fill dark in them, so that looks like the letter has no eyes, it could not see anything any more.
Freedom
the Statue of Liberty from USA, as we know, it is a gift from France to America, it hold high the torch just like saying"FREEDOM".
Power
This is also really popular all over the world. And it comes from Egypt. In ancient Egypt, Pharoah grasp the high right in the country. So that is why i choose this pic.
Man
Toilet sign, in every public rest room, you can find this pic on the door of toilet. May be a little bit different, but they say the same word "Male toilet".
Woman
As same as "Male toilet", this pic say"Female toilet".
Absolute: the word"p" in the middle means "parking", you know, in many public places there are not lots of spaces for parking, some of them limited people to parkingin carpark, so i get inspiration from this situation. And the sign means "no parking here". I think "absolute" similar with exactly, but not too strong as "exactly".
