The signifier in this photo is a sculpture of a
brass bull, known as the Wall Street Bull.

The bull is a symbol of the wealth and
aggressiveness of the stock market, and the unknowing of what will happen with
stocks.

The
artist used this bull out of bronze, first to depict the wealth of the stock
markets. The bronze material gives the idea of money, rather than concrete
which is cheap and simple. Also, the bull is placed on a sidewalk in the city,
where most business with the stock market takes place. The bull is placed in a
position where he looks like he is about to attack, but it is uncertain what or
where he will attack. I think this is the symbol of the stocks constantly going
up and down. The uncertainty of the bull’s next move is also the uncertainty of
what stocks will rise or fall. Also bulls are dangerous, and I think the artist
too believes that the stock market is dangerous, but just like defeating a bull
in bullfighting, when you hit a good stock the reward is great.
