A joyful modern Impressionist street scene at a Rio Carnival bloco, capturing the playful spirit of creative homemade costumes. The central figure is a young man transformed into a walking vintage radio (radiola de pilha), his body encased in a cardboard box painted in retro turquoise and cream, with silver knobs and a fake speaker grille on his chest. A single antenna made of curled wire and a bright red ping-pong ball bounces atop his head. His expression is one of mischievous delight—grinning, mid-shout. Beside him, a friend wears an absurd, magnificent costume: an entire colonial-era chandelier constructed from silver-painted PVC pipes, plastic crystals, and flickering battery-operated fairy lights, swaying precariously as she dances. Another reveler is a living feijoada: brown felt pot strapped to torso, overflowing with plush black beans, a dangling sausage, and a fuzzy sprig of parsley. The beachfront promenade dissolves into a wash of dappled sunlight, confetti, and blurred silhouettes. The sea beyond is a shimmering plane of aquamarine. Pure, irreverent Carioca carnival creativity. The signature @digo.a.i is discreetly drawn in chalk on the cobblestone, half-smudged by a passing sandal.
A joyful young man walks on a cobblestone road, in white shorts and flip-flops, laughing with his mouth wide open, wearing a blue and beige vintage radio costume that resembles a boombox; his right arm is inside the radio with an antenna extending from the top. He is followed by a woman in a ceremonial costume, wearing a white and gold feathered headdress, carrying a vintage chandelier with hanging crystals and light bulbs, with yellow and white fairy lights, with her arms raised in celebration. To her right, another person is carrying a feijoada pot costume, with a plant and two sausages hanging from it. Many people are seen in the background with their hands raised. White and colorful confetti, some circular orange and red balloons, fall through the air from the top. The scene takes place on a sunny day at a beach, with the ocean and blue sky visible in the background.
