Captured on 35mm analog film, this photograph frames the striking rise of Vidigal at the foot of Rio’s dramatic rock formations. The winding path, with pedestrians and cars sharing space, leads the eye toward the hillside community that clings to the mountain in layers of concrete and color.

The image balances contrasts — the immensity of stone against the density of human life, nature against city, intimacy against vastness. Pontal Vidigal is both a landscape and a portrait of resilience, capturing the energy of a community nestled in one of Rio’s most iconic views. 11″ x 14″ (27.9 x 35.6 cm)
