Tiger

A gravely wounded tiger moves forward across uncertain ground, leaving a trail of blood behind. Its tense body, open jaws, and fixed gaze convey a mix of resistance and desperation. Despite the severity of its wounds, the animal does not give in. The abstract, cold background intensifies the sense of isolation and danger.
The tiger, a traditional symbol of strength and authority in many cultures, appears here as a figure on the edge, forced to continue through a hostile environment. This depiction emphasizes not only the violence endured but also the will to persist, even when all seems lost. It is an image that speaks to the instinct for survival, to the drive to move forward when retreat is no longer an option.
