A young Black male, appearing in his late teens or early twenties, is depicted in a close-up, waist-up portrait captured outdoors in Akwanga, Nigeria. The subject has short, dark, curly hair and a neutral, unsmiling expression. He wears a dark, short-sleeved t-shirt featuring red and yellow horizontal stripes on the shoulders and collar. The shirt is adorned with various white and red graphics, including reversed text such as "REB" and "XIAX", three red stars, a circular red emblem, and other multi-colored text and abstract designs. A thin chain necklace with a small circular pendant is visible. A faint, light-colored mark or scar is present on his left cheek (viewer's right). The background reveals an unpaved, light brown dirt ground. Behind the subject, an unfinished building with light grey, unplastered cement walls is partially visible. A modern window with a white frame and reflective glass is set into this wall. To the subject's left, a stacked, weathered stone object, possibly a traditional grinding stone, rests on the ground. To his right, light-colored wooden planks or framing elements lean against an unseen structure or are freestanding. A crumpled white plastic bag is also on the ground in this area. The scene is illuminated by bright natural daylight.
