The Yellow Wallpaper is a piece of literature that seems to linger in my academic journey. Encountered in high school, college and graduate school, its haunting narrative left a lasting impact. In 2012, I was at the start of my transition journey from female to more masculine, I began working on an adaptation of The Yellow Wallpaper. I was not aware at the time but this project held a special significance in my life. In 2024, I revisited the film through a form of collaboration with my past female self. This approach allowed for the blend of different physicalities and insights, creating a rich tapestry of trans storytelling over twelve years. The process of adapting such a poignant and introspective piece of literature provided a creative outlet for expressing and navigating the complex experiences associated with transition. Viewing conniption through my own lens of multiple years, I see it as a fugue capable of being played in both directions.
