Bhat works primarily in clay, producing sculptural objects rather than functional pottery. Her work engages with themes of the body, landscape, and ecology, and is informed by both contemporary sculptural practice and the long history of ceramic making in South Asia.
Her sculptures are typically hand-built and explore relationships between organic form and material. The pieces are often shown in gallery contexts, where they are presented as individual objects or as installations that group several related forms together.
Bhat contributes to a broader contemporary engagement with ceramics as a fine-art medium, a field that has seen renewed critical attention internationally. Her practice connects Indian artistic sensibilities with the studio ceramics tradition.
