My bio:

"Constantin (they/them) is an uninvited guest and settler on Coast Salish territories. They are a multimedia artist pondering about topics such as survival, madness, and divergence, based on their experiences with madness, neurodiversity, disability, queerness, and transness. In their spare time, they run around and yell, sometimes for advocacy reasons, sometimes for funsies."
