Bumpman, Contemporary sculpture at Düsseldorf Central Station, Germany.
The Bumpman sculpture depicts a figure with organic swellings on its body, reflecting physical manifestations of human insecurities and vulnerabilities.
German artist Paloma Varga Weisz created this sculpture following her education in woodcarving at Garmisch-Partenkirchen and studies at Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
The sculpture draws inspiration from 16th-century German pamphlets depicting extraordinary human anatomies and references the schrat, a forest spirit from German folklore.
Located inside Düsseldorf Central Station, the sculpture is accessible to visitors during regular station operating hours without admission fees.
The figure stands as an anti-hero in the busy train station, encouraging passengers to pause and reflect on their physical insecurities.
