Two of her Posthuman Visual Art Projects as part of her artistic research are: Tachyon (2021) and Terminarch/Ender (2022-Ongoing) available for viewing on the Posthuman Art Network website and platforms.

Her practice is primarily rooted in painting and explores themes such as isolation, experience, memory, and mortality – emanating largely from a poetic engagement with Time. Mediums such as photography, writing, cinema, and painting are at the center of her language as a practitioner and have featured as important categories of both work and interest. These varied elements come together within the work and can be seen most distinctly in the artist books made by her, as well as found imagery that accompanies the paintings and other media during exhibitions. 

Divya lives and works in Delhi, India.
