A obra retrata através da pintura figurativa um campo de concentração onde mulheres e crianças que são acusadas de bruxaria ficam em países como Zâmbia e Gana. Rituais com aves coloridas são feitos para comprovar se as acusações procedem ou não. São lugares precários com falta de água e luz. A maioria da população desses campos são de mulheres idosas, porém desde os anos 2000 a presença de crianças e adolescentes é cada vez mais frequente. Devido à essas situações que infringem os Direitos Humanos, 10 de agosto foi declarado o dia mundial contra a Caça às Bruxas.
The work depicts, through figurative painting, a concentration camp where women and children children accused of witchcraft are kept in countries like Zambia and Ghana. Rituals with are performed to prove whether or not the accusations are true. They are precarious places with a lack of water and electricity. The majority of the population in these camps are elderly women, but since the 2000s, the presence of children and teenagers has become increasingly frequent. Because of these situations that infringe on human rights, August 10th was declared the world day against Witch Hunts.
