The scene depicts an outdoor dumpsite in Ogbunike, Nigeria. A dark-skinned male, wearing a teal/green patterned short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, stands slightly right of center, engaged in an activity involving items on the ground. His gaze is directed downwards, and his hands are positioned over a large, light-brown woven basket placed on the refuse-strewn surface. A dark sack and a slender stick or rod lean against the basket. The ground in the foreground and mid-ground is densely covered with an assortment of waste, including numerous black plastic bags, white debris (possibly paper or plastic), green organic matter, and various discarded household items. To the left, a patch of dark soil is visible amidst the trash. In the background, lush green vegetation, including what appears to be bamboo and dense shrubs, forms a natural barrier. A rudimentary fence made of corrugated metal sheets and chicken wire is situated between the vegetation and the dumpsite, with additional debris visible behind it. The environment appears to be under direct daylight.
