Nomade is a monumental outdoor sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa depicting a seated human figure constructed entirely from interlocking white painted letters and characters drawn from multiple alphabets and writing systems. The open lattice structure allows light and air to pass through the form, dissolving the boundary between body and environment and inviting reflection on language as the fundamental material of human identity. The work exemplifies Plensa's signature exploration of communication, universality, and the relationship between the physical and the spiritual. It is a celebrated centerpiece of the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, Iowa, part of a landmark donation of contemporary sculpture to the city.
