The image depicts a young Black child, positioned outdoors in Gwafan, Nigeria. The child, viewed from an elevated perspective, faces upwards and to the right, with both hands clasped together in front of her chest. Her hair is braided and adorned with multiple colorful beads, including pink, light blue, purple, and green. She is dressed in a long-sleeved red top layered beneath a voluminous, light cream or beige tulle-like dress featuring ruffles around the neckline and an ornate, possibly embroidered, band at the waist. The ground consists of dry, light brown soil mixed with fine gravel, sparse dried vegetation, and scattered debris, including small white paper or plastic fragments, dark string-like material, and a crumpled blue and white object. A dark brown shoe, belonging to an unseen individual, is partially visible on the far left of the frame, and a section of blue and white patterned fabric, indicative of another person's clothing, is visible on the far right.
