“Vox Populi” (the voice of the people) sculptural group

The New Carrollton Federal Building - Internal Revenue Service Headquarters

architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF)

Prince George's County, New Carrollton
5000 Ellin Road
Lanham, Maryland

“The most striking elements are the huge, white marble hands atop each column. Each hand points skyward, one with the forefinger extended; the other is an open hand, the fingers ever so slightly cupped.

The 1997 work is called “Vox Populi,” which is Latin for “the voice of the people.” The hand with the raised index finger represents deliberation, argument, the gesticulation of a speaker giving his or her opinion. The hand with an open palm represents the act of voting or taking an oath.”
– The Washington Post, “The Big Hands of the Law”
