Protector

Here is another mural found in that alley behind The Churchill in downtown Phoenix.  This one is by Phoenix muralist Nyla Lee and it's called "Protector."  This one leaves me wondering who is protecting who.  I think maybe the pretty girl is protecting the tiger.  What do you think?

Monday Murals!

The Tiger is definitely the Protector. 龴ↀ◡ↀ龴

It can be both indeed, but I agree with Andy.

All my favourite colours in this gorgeous mural Sharon, that tiger is just a big pussycat really 😊

Do you coordinate mural photos with that fellow in South Dakota?

Once again we are on the same wavelength. Yes, a beautiful mural.

Maybe the "protector" is a third element, an unseen force that keeps the tiger from attacking the human. Or that keeps the human race from exterminating tigers. Or both.

A very beautiful mural, worth to be seen twice ;-)

Revrunner said...

Frankly, I think that tiger looks a little shifty-eyed.

Steve Reed said...

Maybe it works both ways?

RedPat said...

The tigers certainly need protecting! What a coincidence that you & TFG posted the same mural. That has happened here only a couple of times with other Toronto bloggers.

I think it's a metaphor for protecting both tigers and plants in the mural. It's beautiful, regardless.

The tiger is a wonderful protector, big and strong.

Aimz said...

hmm quite a question, but maybe in real life the tiger would turn around and eat the girl.

Kay said...

It goes both ways in my interpretation. Tiger could protect the woman but she could represent human protection for other species.

Linda said...

Excellent. (For a minute I thought I was seeing double, LOL.)

Sami said...

What a coincidence, but it's a lovely mural, and deserves to be shown twice of course. Thanks for contributing Sharon and keep safe :)

I just watched the documentary series Tiger King - so I was a little taken aback by this mural! I'm confused about who's protecting who, especially after seeing the documentary. That's some weird stuff!
