MetaFork in the Road is a 30-foot-tall, 4,500-pound steel sculpture created by House of Fabl and artist Hunter Leggitt for Burning Man 2022. A playful yet profound monument to decision-making, the piece embodies the classic metaphor of reaching a pivotal fork in the road — when a choice between two paths must be made.
Viewers are invited to walk up, around, and through the sculpture, engaging with it as both a literal and symbolic crossroads. MetaFork blends whimsy with reflection, asking each passerby: which way will you go?
After its debut at Burning Man, the sculpture was permanently installed at Tesla’s Giga Factory in Austin, Texas, where it now welcomes visitors with a quiet challenge — and a subtle grin.
Limited edition reproductions of MetaFork in the Road are now available by commission for public, private, or institutional installation.
“I love the inverse poetry of making metaphors literal. There is a giant 30ft (literal) fork in the road outside the Auto Pilot office in Palo Alto.”
