Fairchild Gen 13 - BEYOND LIMITS / Bazal. 11,7x16,5 in.

"they rise as one"

Illustration of Caitlin Fairchild (Gen 13) created by Angel Bazal in black ballpoint pen, as a tribute to the dynamic and powerful visual energy associated with Ed Benes, with a stronger emphasis on the presence of the Gen 13 team behind her.

Caitlin dominates the foreground, strong and determined, yet her figure now serves as the visual anchor of something greater. Behind her, the rest of the team emerges with distinct personalities—contrasting energies and attitudes, but driven by a shared momentum. They are not background figures; they are support, collective strength, and a family forged under extreme circumstances.

The composition conveys cohesion within chaos. Each member contributes a unique identity, yet all align toward the same direction. Caitlin embodies visible power, while the team behind her represents support, strategy, and diversity of abilities.

This is not only the story of a heroine. It is the story of a generation that learned to survive together.
