Selections From The Synopsis of Categories

The installation, located in the ground floor lobby of Metro Hall, comprises 25 specially crafted aluminum ladders of varying heights. Each ladder features individual rungs meticulously waterjet-cut from an aluminum bar, with 350 distinct rungs displaying words sourced from Roget's Thesaurus "Synopsis of Categories" section.

This artwork not only underscores the efforts of the employees but also serves as a poignant reminder of the purpose and audience of their work. According to Lexier, the combination of words and ladders symbolizes the interconnectedness of language and architecture, portraying them as constructed vocabularies that articulate and shape human identity.
