DEFINITION OF JUXTAPOSITION
A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words. The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or word next to each other.

Basically, it can be simplified to one word "using 2 objects to show contrast". We can often see juxtaposition in photographs, drawings or paintings to show the huge difference between 2 same object but with contrast personality. For example a very old man facing a young boy with the age gap of 72 years between them to convey the message the flow of time.
