Semiotics Analysis of the Bull

The signifier of this image is the bull. It is made of a strong medal and is sitting in an aggressive pose and is located in the center of the financial capital of the world. The initial message that this image was trying to share was that the US economy is like a bull. Meaning that it is aggressive and that no one can stop it from moving forward. This is placed on wall street to remind those working there to be like a bull and to push forward. Today I would say that it also is a metaphor for why the economy crashed. The economy moved like a bull, forward without thinking and without evaluating it's decisions, which lead to economic problems.
