Molecule Man is a series of aluminium sculptures, designed by American artist Jonathan Borofsky, installed at various locations around the world, including Germany [1] and the United States. [2] Borofsky made the first Molecule Man sculptures for locations in Los Angeles in 1977 and 1978. [ 1 ]

As she states, "on the surface, these figures are simply feral animals suspended in a moment of tension. Beneath the surface, they embody the consequences of human fear, apathy, aggression, and misunderstanding". [2]
