A young child stands centrally on an asphalt surface in Lagos, Nigeria. The child, likely a girl, has dark skin and is smiling directly at the camera. She wears a sleeveless teal dress with a satin bodice, a lighter teal sash with a bow on the right hip, and a black mesh overlay on the skirt featuring teal floral embroidery. Black patent leather Mary Jane shoes are on her feet, and a blue fabric cap with the visible text "WHAT" and other designs covers her head. Her left arm is raised, with the index and middle fingers extended in a V-sign; her right arm is bent with the hand slightly open. Behind and to the left of the child is the rear section of a silver sedan. The vehicle's license plate, visible as "LAGOS SMK-153AA," is mounted on a scuffed and chipped bumper. The asphalt surface underfoot appears dry and consistent with a paved road or parking area.
