About this artwork
Inspired by the iconic Cycladic figurines created in the Aegean islands during the Early Bronze Age (c. 3200–2000 BCE), this work reinterprets one of humanity's earliest sculptural forms. The original meaning of these figures remains uncertain. Most have been found in graves, suggesting associations with death, remembrance, fertility, and the cycle of life. Their folded arms and downward-pointing feet indicate that they may have rested in repose…
or been carried during ceremonial processions.
By inserting a contemporary screen into the figure's body, I bring this ancient archetype into dialogue with twenty-first-century culture. The screen, positioned at the sculpture's core, symbolizes our growing dependence on digital technologies, perpetual connectivity, surveillance, and screen addiction. I invite viewers to reflect on how modern rituals of monitoring, scrolling, and digital engagement increasingly replace older forms of contemplation, spirituality, and direct human connection.

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.
