Description

Oriental Motifs / “Silk Road” 90×90 cm

by Stella Polare Artiste, Paris. 

This designer silk scarf created in Paris and part of the Silk Road collection. It is the fruit of working

You see a scarf. I see my roots.

This design is inspired by traditional Uzbek cotton motifs — their rhythms, repetitions, and symbolic geometry. Within this composition, the artist reinterprets these patterns through a contemporary lens, transforming them into a living visual language.

Concept

The cotton motif is not only decorative — it is historical, social, and political.

It originates from the culture of Uzbekistan, a land long shaped by textile traditions and situated at the crossroads of the Silk Road.

Cotton, often called “white gold,” carries a complex legacy:
a material of beauty
a symbol of labor
a trace of memory embedded in fabric

In this composition, the motif is fragmented and reassembled — forming a grid where repetition becomes both structure and question.

From this emerges:

a patterned memory
a coded history
a silent testimony woven into form

The geometry evokes textile archives, while its transformation reflects a shift — from inherited pattern to conscious presence.

Artistic Vision

Stella Polare or Khulkar Yunusova is a French-Uzbek contemporary artist based in Paris.
Her work develops around a central concept: “vitaculture” — the urgency of joy as a conscious, aesthetic, and existential act.

Her artistic practice bridges:

• language and image
• East and West
• personal history and collective memory

Her work has been presented at UNESCO, the Louvre, and Palais Jacques Cœur (carte blanche, 2021), among others. The same year 2021 she was invited to the Parole des Femmes, public talk at the House of the Great French writer, Maison de George Sand

Why a scarf

For Stella Polare, the scarf is not a simple accessory.
It is a symbol of emancipation and transformation.

It carries multiple layers of meaning:

• a continuation of textile heritage
• a transformation of traditional motifs into contemporary art
• a reflection on invisible histories embedded in materials
  a dialogue between ornament and identity

The cotton motif, once part of collective production, becomes here an individual gesture — reinterpreted, displaced, and reactivated.
