An indoor, waist-up portrait captures a young, dark-skinned male in Bar Gada, Nigeria, positioned against a plain, light-colored wall. The subject's eyes are closed, head tilted slightly downward and to the right, and a subtle smile is present. Multiple distinct white marks, appearing as dabs of paint or cream, are applied to his forehead, cheeks, and chin. He wears a dark blue fabric with a light grey floral pattern, draped around his torso and over his left shoulder, leaving his right shoulder bare. The fabric exhibits raw, frayed edges in places. On top of his head rests a clear plastic bag containing a yellow, soft-packaged item, partially visible text on the yellow packaging includes "جبل" (Jabal) and "Speci". The lighting is direct, creating soft illumination on the subject's skin.
