Within a rudimentary, soot-darkened enclosed space in Orifite, Nigeria, a young, shirtless individual with dark skin, wearing light-colored trousers, crouches barefoot on a dirt floor. They are actively tending an open wood fire, fueled by plant matter and small sticks, over which a dark, lidded metal pot rests on a metal stand. Smoke rises from the fire. A crumpled green and yellow patterned fabric lies near the individual's right knee. On the ground, sparse debris includes dried plant material and a fragment of a red onion. The back wall is uniformly dark and appears to be constructed of rough stone or earth, with a dark rectangular opening or feature visible in the center. The right wall consists of large, irregular light-colored concrete or stone blocks, also showing signs of soot accumulation.
