Description Tigers are known as deadly hunters, able to stalk and attack with lethal consequences. The purpose of this piece, based upon a personal photograph of a white tiger, is to demonstrate that though the tiger may be thought of as a lethal hunter, it should be remembered that the characteristics that enable this behaviour are entirely as determined by nature. Roses too are associated in both literature and art as symbols of delicacy, refinement and romance-characteristics almost antithetical to those associated with the tiger and yet, like the tiger, the qualities of the rose are entirely delineated by nature. Thus, the purpose of 'Tiger Among Roses' is to highlight that the seeming contradiction in the characteristics between the tiger and the rose are born of the mind of the observer. Both the characteristics of the tiger and the rose spring from the same source. Thus the tiger is as much at home among the roses and it is on the hunting plains. In a sense too, 'Tiger Among Roses' is also in keeping with the title of the gallery: 'Respite'.
