ArtistA scorched Rio wasteland where the skeletal remains of carnival floats rot in neon-lit alleys. A barefoot warrior woman with a makeshift cybernetic leg crafted from salvaged drone parts strides past the toppled head of Christ the Redeemer, now covered in glowing tribal graffiti. Her hair is woven with copper wiring that crackles with static from the electromagnetic storms. A genetically-modified black jaguar with exposed titanium ribs and blood-stained fangs prowls beside her, its remaining organic eye tracking the movements of mutant vultures circling above. The ruins of Copacabana beach are littered with the wreckage of luxury yachts fused with military hovercraft, their hulls now serving as shelters for radiation-scarred survivors. The Sugarloaf Mountain's cable cars hang motionless, converted into sniper nests by rogue factions. The once-blue ocean has turned a sickly violet, where three-eyed sharks occasionally breach the surface to snatch unwary scavengers. Street signs flicker between Portuguese and corrupted machine code, advertising long-extinct brands of caipirinha and broken promises of political salvation. The air smells of burning sugarcane and melted plastic, carrying the distant echoes of a malfunctioning samba school's drumline. Somewhere in the favela ruins, a generator hums power to jury-rigged holograms of long-dead pop stars. The woman adjusts her rusting shoulder plate - a repurposed car door welded with the faded letters "ORDEM E PROGRESSO" - as her cyber-jaguar suddenly tenses. From the shadows of a collapsed overpass, glowing red eyes begin to appear. She smiles, spins her makeshift machete (a helicopter rotor blade sharpened on concrete), and prepares to meet whatever new horror this broken Brazil has cooked up. The last functioning streetlight above her flickers and dies as the attack begins.
In a dystopian Rio, a warrior woman navigates a neon-lit wasteland of decay, accompanied by a cybernetic jaguar. Scavengers and mutant creatures inhabit the ruins, while echoes of the past linger in the air.
