New Horizons 11x14 illustration by

Molly Costello (2019) 
Ten people spanning generations and 
communities and five beings as simple 
blue and light blue silhouettes fly 
through the night sky together. They are 
connected by stars like a constellation 
and are in the form of a v-shaped 
formation of birds. A Black femme with 
a disability with pink hair leads the 
“flock.” A bright yellow full moon is 
immediately below the flying group. 
Plants and hills are at the bottom of the 
image. A black bird with red feathers 
sits on a plant immediately below the 
moon and looks on at the group up 
ahead.
