To be Vulnerable is to be Brave,
And to be Brave is to be Free...
To me, vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it is a sign of strength and courage to be able to express what you feel.
This painting has elements that have been carefully chosen to represent a powerful concept. 
The birds of paradise flower here is a symbol of freedom while the woman represents vulnerability through her expression and the tiger stands for sheer strength and courage.
