The Bronze Bull

What is the signifier? 
A bronze bull in the middle of New York City. It is very large and looks rather angry. The way that it is standing is kind of a crouched position as if it is ready to attack at any given moment.

What does it signify?
The bull represents this perseverance, strength, and determination.

Supporting my analysis.
When I look at this bull and look at its anger, its intensity, its intimidating size, and its location, I can't help but think that there is a reason for its outward appearance and its location. It is located in New York City where everything is intensified and very cut-throat competitive anyways. This bull is made of bronze, which is very durable and can survive almost everything. New York is the concrete jungle, and to be able to survive in the city, one has to become a sort of a bronze bull and attack it without getting torn to shreds.
