Modern Iconography

Today, I was reading a post, Synaxis of St. John the Baptist which had the following:
Grunewald has painted a picture in which he depicts John the Baptist with an unnaturally elongated forefinger pointing to Christ. This same type of finger is used in some Byzantine icons of John the Baptist to express the main purpose of his ministry: the pointing out of Christ as the expected Savior.
It got me thinking, what iconography would be used to depict my life? You life?
