Semiotics 1


The signifier is a bronze charging bull. This signifies financial prosperity. This charging bull is placed in Bowling Green Park near Wall Street in New York City. It is there to be a symbol for all to see how powerful money can be. Though this bull is charging and is full of energy, it can also make a big mistake and run into trouble. This can be a way to show how the stock market is unpredictable. 

I feel that this sculpture has a little bit of evilness to it. It seems to represent how people care more about power and finances than helping the poor and needy. It acts as a god or idol that many worship these days.
