No, not according to the way those terms are used on the Web.

If the description is important enough to be its own resource then it
could get a new URI.
If you really, really want to reify ALL representations in one fell
swoop then you could do that at the RDF or topic map level.

If a "representation" is a "resource" then you are not using the word
representation in the HTTP/URI sense. But that representation (in your
sense) can have a representation (in the HTTP/URI sense) that you GET by
dereferencing its URI (which must be distinct from the original
resource's URI).
