About this artwork
Humans are a migratory species.
Humans are a territorial species.
Humans are an invasive species.
Humans are capable of the best and the worst.
We all have our roots in a story of migration. I am an immigrant. In 1947, my grandparents narrowly escaped drowning in the Mediterranean while seeking refuge in France.
This series of mixed-media sculptures explores migration, displacement, and belonging. I use cement, barbed wire, and shoelaces to create… sculptural hands in expressive gestures. Hands fascinate me because they can communicate without words—anger, resistance, compassion, hope, and love.
In this sculpture, the hand points to ABSURD reflecting my bewilderment at the behavior of political leaders. Despite the lessons of history and the human cost of forced migration, we continue to repeat the same patterns of fear, exclusion, and conflict. I use absurdity to question this cycle and to ask why we so often fail to learn from our past.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Pierre Leichner, with a background rooted in both medicine and fine art, works across sculpture, painting, installation, BioArt, and video, blending scientific inquiry with poetic sensibility. His technique embraces organic materials, layered abstraction, and time-based processes, often inviting natural phenomena as collaborators. Playfulness and surprise give way to deeper ecological and socio-political meaning through engaging participatory works. Pierre’s art evokes vulnerability and resilience while inspiring reflection and a profound sense of interconnection between humanity, nature, and community.
