The image depicts an individual operating a sewing machine in an indoor, semi-enclosed workshop or tailoring area within the city of Markurdi, Nigeria. The primary subject is a young adult, possibly female, with braided hair, wearing a white and blue polo shirt and pink shorts. They are seated at an antique black treadle sewing machine, identified with a partial "POPULAR" inscription. Their hands are clasped around a blue smartphone, indicating they are paused from their work and interacting with the device. The sewing machine is mounted on a wooden table, with spools of thread (white, light blue) and various fabric scraps, tools (scissors, measuring tape), and white plastic material visible on the tabletop. Below the table, the subject's bare feet are positioned on the treadle mechanism of the sewing machine. The floor consists of packed dirt, cluttered with fabric remnants, discarded plastic items, and several pairs of footwear (sandals/slippers). The background features a brick wall on the right with a white electrical outlet. To the left, a corrugated metal structure is visible under bright, overexposed natural light. A second individual, partially visible on the far right, is wearing a purple patterned garment. The scene suggests a small-scale textile production or repair environment.
