The painting features a dynamic sketch of a tiger, vividly drawn in striking turquoise against a dark, textured background that resembles a blackboard. The tiger is captured in mid-movement, with its body slightly curved and its tail extended and uplifted. The strokes are bold and somewhat fragmented, giving an impression of rapid motion, or the tiger possibly emerging from the shadows. The artwork conveys a sense of raw, wild energy. At the bottom of the painting, there's an inscription that reads, "had to be a tiger," suggesting a deeper narrative or symbolism tied to the tiger's embodiment or spirit.
