Birds of a Feather by Matthew Lam

Birds of a Feather is a documentary that explores how people of open minded constituencies express a mutual acceptance with no fear of reprisal. Cultures in the East and the West differ, but what unites us is the shared instinct to celebrate. Whether through festivals, spiritual rituals, or spontaneous moments of joy, these acts of gathering reflect our universal need for connection and belonging. This project is a testament to the power of shared experience in preserving societal balance. In a world that often focuses on what divides, the images in this book seek what binds us: joy, freedom, and the quiet truth that we are stronger together. When we choose celebration over segregation and empathy over exclusion, we create not just art but a vision of a world worth inhabiting. Birds of a Feather celebrates our shared humanity.
