About this artwork
Humans are migratory.
Humans are territorial.
Humans are capable of both harm and compassion.
We all carry histories of movement. I am an emigrant. In 1947, my grandparents nearly drowned in the Mediterranean while seeking refuge in France. Their story informs this body of work.
This series of mixed media sculptures explores immigration through material and gesture. Cement, barbed wire, and shoelaces — materials associated with borders, restraint,… and passage — form sculpted hands held in expressive positions. I use the hand as a universal language: it can signal anger, resistance, solidarity, tenderness, or love.
In this sculpture, the hand signals victory while still bound in barbed wire. Black ink flows from it like oil — evoking both injury and the extraction economies that shape modern displacement.
The work reflects the tension between confinement and resilience, vulnerability and defiance.

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.
