Description

## Description

On the [Places page](https://decentraland.org/places), the creator attribution section is showing a circle with the creator's initial letter instead of their actual profile picture/avatar from their Decentraland profile.

## Expected Behavior

The creator's Decentraland profile picture should be displayed next to their name.

## Actual Behavior

A fallback circle with the creator's initial letter is displayed instead of their profile picture.

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Visit https://decentraland.org/places
2. Observe any place card that shows a creator attribution
3. Note that the creator avatar shows a circle with a letter rather than their profile photo

## Screenshot

Reported via Slack — screenshot shows the letter-circle avatar appearing in the creator attribution area on a place card.

## Possible Causes

- The profile image URL is not being fetched or passed correctly to the avatar component
- The Decentraland profile/catalyst API call for creator metadata may be failing silently and falling back to the letter avatar
- The image URL may be returning a non-200 response or an invalid format

No existing ticket was found for this issue.
