A photograph taken in Barakin Akawo, Nigeria, depicts two children embracing against a plain, light beige wall. In the foreground, a child with dark braided hair and a light complexion looks directly at the camera with a subtle smile. She wears a light-colored t-shirt featuring a graphic of Princess Sofia. Positioned behind and to the right, a second child with short, dark hair and a slightly darker complexion looks towards the right of the frame. This second child's arms, covered by a brown, ribbed knitted garment, are wrapped around the shoulders of the child in the foreground. Visible hands show a light dusting of particulate matter. The scene is brightly and evenly lit.
