The image depicts a crowded waterfront settlement in Iwaya, Nigeria, characterized by numerous wooden boats and makeshift structures on dark water under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a smaller, light-colored wooden dugout canoe floats, laden with domestic items including a blue blanket, plastic bowls (yellow, green, white, red), a black plastic bag, and a light brown container. Adjacent to it, a larger, darker wooden boat, heavily weathered, contains a tilted orange buoy/barrel and an object covered in gray material. In the midground and background, a dense cluster of additional wooden boats and structures constructed from planks, tarpaulins (black, green, white), and salvaged materials extends across the water. Numerous wooden poles or stilts rise from the water, supporting these structures. Piles of weathered wood are visible throughout the background. Several indistinct human figures are present; one is silhouetted sitting on a distant structure to the right, and another is near a green tarp structure on the left. The water is uniformly dark, and the sky is light gray and cloudy.
