Possibility of Visual Arguments

Can images do what words do? Are visual arguments possible?

Images can definitely do what words can. I am a dancer, if I did not believe that I could make a statement, create an argument, or prove a point using only the visual aspects of movement, I would be going into the wrong profession. It is my deepest belief that it is possible to communicate effectively without uttering actual words. I do admit that messages could be interpreted in different ways, and depending on the audience, the argument could be less strong if not explicitly spelled out in words. However, I stand by my belief that if strong enough, visual arguments can be equally as effective as written or spoken text.
