Orbit of a New Horizon
Colored pencil and ink on paper · Contemporary Illustration
A hand-drawn educational illustration centers on a smiling woman astronaut in a detailed flight suit and headscarf, framed by circular vignettes of a satellite, a space-suited figure, and a scientific instrument. Arabic lettering arcs across the top and bottom, while playful clouds, stars, rockets, and looping forms fill the surrounding field. Fine black outlines and colored-pencil shading give the piece an approachable, celebratory character, with the central portrait anchoring the busy page.
