A peaceful bird is perched on a doorway above an active Harlem Street. Figures in various states of completion and scale weave in and out of fractured buildings and sit on stoops. Manicured nails hold a cigarette. A white sneaker floats above the crosswalk. The face of the artist William T. Williams peers thoughtfully out of a window.
