Birds of a Feather
 
Growing up often happens outside, in the streets and community spaces where identity begins to form. This illustration captures that moment of transition, when young teens move together through the city, learning who they are by watching one another. Set in Dallas, the scene reflects how place and people shape becoming at the same time.
 
A small group walks with confidence beneath the Queen City marquee, dressed with intention and individuality. One figure leads slightly ahead, while the others follow close, moving as a unit without needing to announce it. Their posture suggests belonging, camaraderie, and the quiet
understanding that comes from navigating the same neighborhood and experiences together.
 
Birds of a Feather honors youth and the communities that hold them. It speaks to how friendships form in shared spaces like streets, venues, and gathering spots where culture is exchanged daily. Through black ink, Lakeem preserves this Dallas moment as a reminder that growth often happens collectively, shaped by place, presence, and the people walking beside us.
