Cameron Atlas Chiovitti, born and raised in Montreal, is a graduate from Toronto’s OCAD University. They’re on a mission to turn the intangible into palpable moments by exploring themes of mental health and queer identity with curiosity, tenderly composed imagery, and a playful approach to form. Some of their publications include Petal Projections, Beyond the Veil Press, FreezeRay Poetry, and their latest chapbook, Call This Don’t Go. When Cameron isn’t creating, they’re likely drinking water, looking for crystals, or making new memories with old friends.
