Movement. Dynamics. Achievement of the aim. Confrontation. Creation. Overcoming. Aspiration. Power. Personification of male principle and its reproductive power. Fertility. Reproductive forces of nature. For me the Bull is a powerful and brimming symbol, deeply rooted in history. Comprehension of the Bull’s symbolism is shrouded in myths, legends and sagas. Many cult and religious rituals are connected with it. I perceive it as a tangle of associations, memories, images of the collective unconscious from deep antiquity, modern day archetypes. The list of associative meanings and images is endless: the Wall Street Charging Bull, the ancient world, Christianity, Minoan culture, Ancient Rome, Judaism, and so on.
