In the Native series, Maslen & Mehra research fauna that are, or once were, indigenous to the country in which they are photographed. Mirrored sculptures of animals are placed in built urban environments and often reflect the man-made structures around them. The imagery created by juxtaposing native wildlife against highly urban environments highlights the complex relationship between nature and culture.

Examples from the Native series include an American Eagle in Times Square New York; a European Wolf and Red Squirrel in the Docklands, London; Lynx in an abandoned graffiti-covered warehouse in Berlin. Other locations include Rome and soon Istanbul.
