While I'm not familiar with the specific comparison to which you refer, it sounds as if the term you want is "simile." According to Wikipedia: "A simile is a juxtaposed comparison of two or more objects to draw attention to their similarities. In English, similes are typically marked by use of "like" or "as" or "than", or "resembles". Similes are a specific and formulaic form of allegory."

When a speaker compares an abstract idea to a concrete image she or he is using the figure of speech known as?
When a speaker compares an abstract idea to a concrete image, they are using the figure of speech known as personification. Ideas or concepts are harder to grasp than concrete images. Comparing the two and giving the idea a solid quality, helps to understand the meaning. It can also be seen as a theoretical comparison, or a theoretical figure of speech. Much depends on the circumstances, such as does the comparison make commonsense. It can also be termed a "what if" comparison. For example, what would have been the result of the Confederacy ( a solid, concrete image ) had gained its independence? ( a theoretical comparison )
