The Inheritance explores Devi's influences from ancient India to post-war Abstraction and Minimalism. Her most minimal pieces to date, these works are nonobjective compositions in rectilinear forms, alluding to the history of minimal art, color field painting, and hard-edged abstraction.

She presents her maximal embroidery in rectangles, squares, and grids that have been used by Donald Judd, Agnes Martin, and John McCracken. For Devi, the grid compositions begin with the mathematical precision of Microsoft Excel, before using a limited color palette, lines and patterns to create repetition across planar space.
