The scene is outdoors in Ikorodu, Nigeria, under bright, direct sunlight. A young child, appearing to be of African descent, with dark skin and short, dark, curly hair, is positioned in the center, captured in a dynamic pose. The child wears a dark-colored short-sleeved shirt with red trim around the collar and sleeves, and dark-colored shorts. On the child's feet are two-toned plastic sandals, primarily green with orange straps. The child's body is angled slightly, with the torso leaning backward and the left leg lifted and bent at the knee. The right leg remains grounded. The child's left arm is extended forward and slightly to the left, with the palm open and fingers spread. The child's head is turned, looking back towards the viewer, with an open mouth and tongue slightly visible. A prominent shadow of the child is cast onto the light gray concrete ground, which shows various textures and minor discolorations. In the background, to the left of the child, are light brown concrete steps. To the right and behind the child, a reddish-brown painted wall exhibits significant paint peeling and lighter discolored patches. A light-colored architectural trim, possibly part of a window frame, is visible on the far right edge of the wall.
