Indrani Singh Cassime, Native Series, Windows I

PRICE UPON REQUEST

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.  

Windows I is a contemplative sculpture that invites the viewer to peer through a series of varied openings—some wide and inviting, others narrow, veiled, or closed—each framing a distinct fragment of the world beyond.

The piece explores how every experience in life is contingent upon the point of view we choose or are given, underscoring the relativity of what we see and understand.

Through this interplay of open and obstructed views, Windows explores perception, subjectivity, and the multiplicity of truths we navigate in our daily lives.
