A shirtless, muscular Black male, with braided hair, is depicted performing a bicep curl with a homemade barbell in an outdoor setting in Akwanga, Nigeria. Sweat glistens on his torso and arms. He wears dark blue track pants with red and white side stripes, and dark grey slides on his feet. The barbell consists of a metallic pipe as the bar and two heavily rusted, perforated automotive disc brakes serving as weights. The immediate ground is bare, reddish-brown earth, uneven and littered with small debris. In the background to the left, a structure made from rusted corrugated metal sheets and a large tire is visible, along with a rudimentary, blue-painted metal frame that appears to be part of a makeshift leg press or squat machine. To the right, tall sections of green and rusted corrugated metal fencing are present, forming a boundary. Further in the background, a narrow unpaved road or path is visible, flanked by distant green foliage and scattered simple structures with corrugated metal roofs. Overhead, a wooden utility pole with a single electrical wire traverses the upper portion of the frame against a sky with scattered white clouds. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting shadows.
