Constants and Variables

By Liam Dodd

Are the relationships we have quantifiable? What sort of friendships do we have? Can one small decision drastically impact the friendship we have? In an ever-changing world we see a relationship between two individuals based on external factors that change the parameters, the only constant is the two of them.

WARNING: Suitable for ages 18+. Potential themes of sexual assault, depression, and drug use.

Admission: Free
