It depicts formerly enslaved Afro-Italian nun and saint Josephine Bakhita opening a trapdoor as she frees figures that represent human-trafficking victims. The sculpture contains almost a hundred figures representing the different faces of human trafficking including sex exploitation, forced labor, debt bondage and more. Men, women, and children, including an infant are shown to demonstrate the wide range of victims of human trafficking. The sculpture’s inspiration and name come from the Bible passage Isaiah 58:6
