An outdoor, eye-level photograph captures a person navigating a small wooden boat through dark water in the city of Iwaya, Nigeria. The individual, appearing female, is positioned kneeling or squatting in the boat, wearing a white patterned short-sleeved top, a colorful patterned skirt, and a light green headwrap. She holds and operates a wooden paddle, which is partially submerged in the water. Inside the boat, visible objects include a large light blue plastic barrel lying on its side, a smaller dark blue plastic container with a lid, a white plastic bucket, and a yellow object. To the right of the boat, a raised land mass forms the shore, composed primarily of discarded shells and debris, with several dark, weathered wooden posts protruding from it. Further back on the shore, a blue tarp covers a pile of materials, and additional smaller structures and debris are present. In the distant background, under a partly cloudy sky, elevated grey structures consistent with a bridge or overhead infrastructure are visible. Multiple thin, dark lines stretch horizontally across the sky above the scene.
