devia

Short for Deaf View/Image Art, commonly abbreviated as De'VIA-- but with the web and typing conventions, is sometime seen as devia. De'VIA is created when the artist intends to express their Deaf experience through visual art.

Wow! That's a very powerful devia work, makes me see more of how it feels to be deaf.
