Spanish sculptor Juame Plensa did this in 2007 and it's one of the focal pieces at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, IA.
From the DSM Register: The figure's sheer size dominates the park's landscape, and its human form made from scrambled steel letters seems to suit the city's vision of itself in the Information Age. The artist envisioned the letters as building blocks for words and ideas in the same way human cells for tissues, organs and bodies. They're painted with white enamel that appears dark against the sunlit sky and glows at night, thanks to dramatic spotlights at the sculpture's base. The effect is surprisingly ethereal for something that weighs about 4 tons.
Photo taken May 2012 and the blue sky was replaced in CS6 as part of a BP course assignment.

This caught my eye because there's something similar to it in the lobby of the heart center at the Cleveland Clinic. Fascinating pieces - well done, Terry!
