Chaurasiya experiments with his mediums, employing the use of unconventional materials like matchsticks and motherboards to create a cultural commentary on our decaying natural surroundings. His works are visualizations representing various dimensions of pollution, climate change, population and phenomena contributing to a deplorable dystopia.“With the excessive use of technology at their disposal, humans today have lost some vital connection with the other sentient beings and the environment at large.” he says.
