The cover art is by multidisciplinary artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya (@alonglastname) adapted from the mural, “We Are Tomorrow”, created in community with local Thai women and nonbinary youth. It was painted in 2022 on the facade of the US Embassy in Bangkok and depicts a group of bold women and non-binary people with bright eyes towards the horizon. They are standing in their power, shaping space, forging new paths, and working towards our shared futures.
