Banners of the Carnival

This lively scene captures the spirit of Mardi Gras as it dances above a narrow New Orleans street. Purple, green, and gold banners sway overhead, scattered with falling confetti and the promise of celebration. Hand-drawn textures and playful motion give the piece a sense of anticipation—like the moment just before the parade turns the corner. It honors Mardi Gras not just as a festival, but as a tradition of joy, community, and color woven into the city’s everyday streets.
