Her art practice expresses the nostalgic memories and present experiences that she has gained and represented visually. It is the intimate relation with her immediate surroundings. It is through the objects/belongings or similar experience that she tends to dwell an emphatic relation with some being. Rachita is not only interested in the physical, but also the emotional and physiological state of mind of a person or any other being. The visual images also act as a release of emotion for her. They are the honest manifestations of some of her life experiences and events that became intimated or attached with her directly and indirectly.
