1. The signifier of this picture is a bronze, aggressive Bull building up to charge, determined to win.
2. The Bull symbolizes optimism and financial aggression and it is strategically placed in the heart of The Financial District in Manhattan.
3. This Bull has the strength, the aggression, the mindset and it is all in to go for the gold, but even that cannot stop the unpredictability of the stock market. The Bull stands with pride as the rate of stocks go up and go back down. Right now we sit at a steady pace hoping to go in an upward spiral. We want the Bull to remain a pride to our country not an embarrassment. However, it seems as though the Bull does not stand alone anymore. A day before International Women's Day a statue which is named "Fearless Girl" was placed directly in front of the Bull. The girl is brave, proud and strong non-defiant whatsoever. Di Modica is not pleased with the combination of pieces. He said that it exploits his work for commercial purposes and he has requested for it to be taken down.
