This sculpture stands as a monument to those who build upward. Inspired by the emblem of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, it transforms the seal into a living structure — a symbol not just seen, but felt.
Within its form lies the story of a trade that built the skyline. Each rail and beam recalls the hands that lifted steel, wired hoistways, and breathed life into towers of glass and stone. The city rises not from concrete alone, but from generations — grandfather, father, son — each leaving their mark in the hidden shafts between floors.
The elevator car, poised mid-ascent, becomes the heart of that legacy — the unbroken motion of progress and pride hints at the world these craftsmen raised skyward, one level at a time.
