Arizona is home to more certified Dark Sky Places than anywhere else in the world. No country outside the U.S. can rival the state's 16 dark-sky communities, places, and parks. I chose to depict our dark skies at dusk and with the aid of my son's hand to point out the constellations, find the Christmas Star and make a wish. Reaching out, pointing to, and connecting the dots.
