The work of Stella Meris moves through themes of origin, identity, and memory with quiet intensity. This video offers a glimpse into a practice where personal experience and cultural narratives intertwine in layered, poetic form. This video portrait was created as part of her scholarship from the Krull Stiftung, offering an intimate look at her evolving practice and the emotional depth of her work.
With intuitive gestures, a deep sensitivity to color, and the use of symbolic materials, Stella creates pieces that speak—subtly yet powerfully. Textiles, newspaper, pigment, and drawing become carriers of memory; each layer holds its own voice, its own presence.
The studio becomes a space of transformation and connection. Art emerges here as a dialogue between past and present, between vulnerability and resistance.
“I work with what remains—and with what must not be forgotten.”
Stella Meris
