Each artwork becomes an emotional cartography—mapping grief, resilience, joy, and transformation through layers of texture, symbolism, and form. Rather than privileging representation alone, Deepa seeks to create immersive visual narratives that invite viewers into a shared space of vulnerability and reflection. The theoretical foundations of her work draw on autoethnography as articulated by scholars such as Carolyn Ellis and Arthur Bochner, as well as the rhetorical power of pathos in Aristotelian philosophy. By situating her practice within these frameworks, she demonstrates that art can function not merely as an aesthetic object but as a methodology for understanding lived experience.
