It is impossible to view this artifact without acknowledging the temporal context. June 2013 was a watershed moment in Brazilian history. Millions were flooding the streets to protest bus fares, government corruption, and the exorbitant spending on World Cup stadiums.

Anamara’s physique, toned and curvaceous, is the currency of this realm.
