This mural is located in Tigers Bay, a neighbourhood often known for its strong community identity. The mural emphasizes themes of Community, Pride, and Culture, prominently displayed in bold text around a large, stylised tiger head, which is the central visual element. Here’s a breakdown of the elements in this mural:

Central Image:
The mural features a striking depiction of a tiger’s head, designed with bold, abstract lines and filled with a camouflage-like pattern. This symbol of strength and resilience reflects the community’s identity, with the tiger representing both the name of the area (Tigers Bay) and the spirit of the neighbourhood.

Text and Themes:
At the top, the word “COMMUNITY” is written in bold, capital letters, reinforcing a sense of togetherness.
“PRIDE” and “CULTURE” appear on either side of the tiger, accompanied by paw prints with small hearts in them. These words highlight values central to the Tigers Bay community, with “Pride” symbolising their sense of belonging and “Culture” indicating a rich, shared heritage.
The words “TIGERS BAY” are displayed prominently at the bottom, marking the area’s identity.

Symbols:
Above the word “COMMUNITY,” there is a red hand symbol, commonly associated with Northern Ireland’s Ulster heritage. This symbol adds a cultural and historical element to the mural, connecting the community to the broader context of Northern Irish identity.
