The scene depicts a degraded riparian zone within the city of Nairobi, Kenya, characterized by significant environmental pollution under a partly cloudy sky. In the immediate foreground, a prominent earthen mound is extensively covered with scattered refuse, including various plastic bags, torn fabrics (notably red, pink, and dark patterned pieces), paper, and unidentifiable debris. A blue and grey sneaker is partially visible at the bottom left. The midground features a murky river flowing through eroded banks. The banks themselves are also littered with refuse, particularly on the far side. Two small, indistinct human figures are present on the distant riverbank; one appears to be seated or crouching, wearing light-colored clothing, while a smaller, darker figure is closer to the water. Their specific actions are not discernible. On the left side of the background, a single-story building constructed of light-colored blocks with a rusted corrugated metal roof is visible amidst sparse vegetation. The ground surrounding this structure is an open, grassy-dirt area with scattered litter. Towards the right background, the terrain rises gently, showing sparse greenery and a faint utility pole or tower in the far distance.
