The scene depicts a sunlit outdoor environment in Barakin Sabawa, Nigeria, observed from a high-angle perspective looking down at the ground. The primary subject is the long, distinct shadow of a standing individual, cast forward onto a light brown dirt surface. The shadow's left arm extends downwards, holding an object that casts a trapezoidal shadow, possibly a bag. The shadow's right arm appears to intersect with a concrete curb or barrier. The ground consists of coarse, reddish-brown and tan dirt or sand, sparsely covered with small stones, pebbles, and dry organic debris such as twigs and plant matter. A roughly rectangular concrete curb, light grey-brown in color, runs diagonally from the mid-right towards the upper left, partially obscured by the shadow. In the bottom right corner, a bare human foot, dark-skinned, is visible, wearing a single red sandal or flip-flop. Partial shadows from overhead foliage or structures are present in the top left corner. The strong, defined shadows indicate direct sunlight.
