The scene captures a reddish-brown dirt ground, consistent with the soil type found in Aguleri, Nigeria, under direct sunlight. A sharply defined human shadow, presumably belonging to the photographer, is cast centrally onto the surface, oriented with its head towards the top of the frame and feet towards the bottom. The ground is sparsely littered with various small, inorganic and organic debris. These include light-colored, brittle-appearing fragments resembling dried leaves or paper, dark, irregularly shaped particles consistent with charcoal or burnt material, several translucent plastic shards, and small pebbles or stones of varying sizes. No other individuals, active subjects, or structures are visible.
