The promotional flyers that you see covering the face and body of the model are called "santinhos". They're really popular on Brazil elections: the politicians use these "santinhos" to promote themselves and distribute it all over the place. Beside the fact they're are not sustainable at all, and are often throw it away on the floor by not so weel educated voters, they also cause accidents - many people have already slipped on the "floor of santinhos" (see bellow) which are formed outside the polling places. Our idea for the cover was to compare the affliction that this "santinhos" scene cause with our lack of voice in the face of the current democracy!
