The scene is set outdoors in Akwanga, Nigeria, on an uneven, reddish-brown dirt ground heavily scattered with refuse including plastic bags, paper, and various debris. In the midground, a small, active fire or smoldering pile of unknown material produces white smoke. To the right of the smoke, a light-colored pig, exhibiting visible teats, rests on its side directly on the ground. Adjacent to the pig's right, a rudimentary shelter constructed from corrugated metal sheets and wooden posts is present. Further in the background, a large palm tree trunk and sparse, dry brown vegetation are visible. A concrete block wall and a light-colored building are discernible in the far left background. The environment is illuminated by natural daylight. No human subjects are present.
