Visitors at the Live Oak Library Annex in Santa Cruz County can now enjoy a towering art sculpture called "The Letters."

The 7-foot-tall welded-steel sculpture has been installed outside the new Live Oak Library Annex, county officials said Monday. It's comprised of more than 1,000 individually cut letters that form the shape of a human figure who is kneeling while picking up words.

Created by David and Sooja "Soo" Choi, the piece refers to the power of words and how they can come alive to convey meaning. It contains words such as "love," "fairness," "respect," and "trust." It reminds us that our choice of words can shape our destinies when we speak them into existence, according to the county.
