Seasons of Home by Kevin VanEmburgh

A digital illustration of a man in flowing orange robes and a red cap playing a Nigerian talking drum. The scene is set against an abstract background of sweeping shapes in blue, orange, and yellow.

Carried by Sound by Anjola Ayodele

A wide, whimsical digital illustration featuring a chaotic and playful scene. There is a pink house with a face and a giant pencil, flying paper, a UFO, stacks of books, cows, scissors, a rubber duck, a board game path, and dozens of quirky characters and objects scattered across a grassy landscape. The clouds, the sun, and a few other objects are taped to the background, implying the world they inhabit is completely drawn on paper.

Home is Imagination by Kai Johnson

A bold, graffiti-style illustration on a light blue background featuring a small, sombrero-wearing cartoon skeleton clutching strings attached to large, heart-shaped balloons. The red balloon in the middle reads "We Are Home," and the skeleton is surrounded by flying cacti while he's spraying a can of pink spray paint.

We Are Home by DINKC

A richly layered digital illustration on a teal background showing a group of black youth and young adults of various ages. Surrounding them are roses in red, gold, and purple, with a basketball, a Kansas state outline, and a faint city skyline woven throughout.

Blossoming Origins by Michelle Briggs
