The scene depicts an outdoor environment in Dabawa, Nigeria, under bright daylight. A child or young person, dressed in a blue patterned outfit and yellow sandals, is bent over, actively reaching into a narrow, debris-filled drainage ditch with murky water located on the right side of the image. The ditch runs alongside a concrete structure. The ground consists of dry, sandy earth, with scattered refuse visible both near the ditch and further into the background. In the upper background, another individual in a light-colored garment and red-trimmed shoes is partially visible, walking away on the dirt path toward a large, elevated pile of discarded waste.
