The Native Series holds a distinctive place in Indrani Singh Cassime’s body of work, reflecting her long-standing interest in diverse viewpoints, cultural intersections, and multiplicity of perspective.

Created between 2018 and 2025 from native clay sourced directly from Ousteri Lake—minutes from her studio—these pieces represent the last use of this now-unavailable material. Working in this direct, place-bound way revives an ancient practice in which the local earth becomes inseparable from the final form, lending the works a rare immediacy and authenticity.  

A nature-inspired sculpture evoking the sacred trees of Indian mythologies and spiritual traditions, where trees are cosmic symbols of life, knowledge, and protection. Tree Trunk captures this essence through organic forms and textured surfaces, inviting viewers to reflect on our profound connection to the living cosmos.
