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 emigration. I am an emigrant. My grandparents nearly drowned in the Mediterranean seeking refuge in France in 1947
This project is a series mixed media sculptures exploring immigration. I use cement, barbed wire, and shoelaces in the sculptures of hands in different expressive… gestures. I use hands as they can sign emotions from anger, resistance to compassion and love.
In this sculpture the hand signals victory while it is still retrained in barbed wire signalling human resilience. Black ink oozes out of it referencing oil.

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.
