About:
This piece commemorates a tiny but (to me) significant acknowledgement of my transness. It’s a screenshot of the edit to my Wikipedia page when a stranger updated my name.

This drawing tangibly preserves and magnifies a screenshot of Stella0003’s Wikipedia update reflecting my name change. As amending one’s own Wikipedia page is discouraged, the visual revisioning process captures a small moment of interdependency in action. As such, this reliance between me and Stella0003, a stranger with a desire for accuracy, becomes embedded within the work.
