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
ReplyDeleteIt can be both indeed, but I agree with Andy.
ReplyDeleteAll my favourite colours in this gorgeous mural Sharon, that tiger is just a big pussycat really 😊
ReplyDeleteDo you coordinate mural photos with that fellow in South Dakota?
ReplyDeleteOnce again we are on the same wavelength. Yes, a beautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteMaybe 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.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
A very beautiful mural, worth to be seen twice ;-)
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I think that tiger looks a little shifty-eyed.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it works both ways?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a metaphor for protecting both tigers and plants in the mural. It's beautiful, regardless.
ReplyDeleteThe tiger is a wonderful protector, big and strong.
ReplyDeletehmm quite a question, but maybe in real life the tiger would turn around and eat the girl.
ReplyDeleteIt goes both ways in my interpretation. Tiger could protect the woman but she could represent human protection for other species.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. (For a minute I thought I was seeing double, LOL.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, but it's a lovely mural, and deserves to be shown twice of course. Thanks for contributing Sharon and keep safe :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful mural.
