Could you please expand a bit on what you mean? Thank you in advance
An example would be the icons of the Ascension and Pentacost compared:
You'll note that the Theotokos stands in the center of the Ascension (though scripture does not indicate her presense), but note her absence in Pentacost (through scripture tells us her presence in the upper room). Her she stands as the icon of the Church, the physical presence of Christ left in the world, his body. Hence why she stands in a column under her Son: as long as the Church remains in the world, so does Christ. At Pentacost, the Apostles are in a circle with a gap at their head, signifying the conciliar nature of the Church through its episcopacy, who embody the presence of Christ (I've also heard that the absence of the Theotokos denotes the male/fatherly (versus motherly) characteristic of the hierarchy: I'm not sure anyone would have even thought that in question enough way back when to point that out. Similarly, the gap also shows our objection to Vatican ecclesiology, but I doubt that the need to combat Ultramontanism would have necessitated expression at such an early date). Note that St. Paul sits as one of the 12, certainly ahistorical, but true: St. Paul's credentials of Aposteship match those of the 12 disciples, just as those in the episcopacy after Christ's earthly mission, i.e. the bishops who succeed the Apostles until He come back, sit in Council as peers with the Apostles. The absence of the Theotokos here underlines the dogamtic constitution of the Church as a hiearchal institution, as opposed to an ad hoc collection of believers in Jesus.
btw, compare the icon of Mid-Pentacost
and aberations of the Pentacost icon, out of concerns for "historicity" or undue hyperdulia/Mariolatry at the expense of truth
