Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variables, side by side and their contrast or similarities
are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. It's mainly a combination of similes and metaphors.
following is an exercise which would further help clarify how it works:
FLOWER HEAD
LIGHTING RAIN
ICE WOOD
LIGHT TREE
FIRE SPIDER
DUCK ROOT
DOG MOUNTAIN
OIL WIND
LEAVE ROCK
FLY WATER
choose a pair of numbers from 00-99
eg: 12, 24, 45
1 FLOWER 0 HEAD
2 LIGHTING 1 RAIN
3 ICE 2 WOOD
4 LIGHT 3 TREE
5 FIRE 4 SPIDER
6 DUCK 5 ROOT
7 DOG 6 MOUNTAIN
8 OIL 7 WIND
9 LEAVE 8 ROCK
0 FLY 9 WATER
[24, 08, 44]

make sentences using both words.
1) i saw a flash of lightning over that mountain
2) i want to fly in an airplane made of wood
3) i can see the temple light shining on top of the mountain.
