The scene depicts a construction site in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a dark wooden utility pole is positioned on the left, and a light grey metal utility pole is on the right, with multiple dark utility wires traversing the upper frame. A section of a corrugated metal roof and a barred window are visible in the lower-left, while a large pink or beige fabric structure partially obscures the lower-right. The main subject is a building under construction. Its perimeter walls are constructed from grey concrete blocks, with wooden formwork visible on top of the unfinished wall sections. An adult male, wearing a dark sleeveless top, light-colored trousers, and dark head covering, stands upright on a wooden plank placed atop the concrete block wall. He is oriented with his back partially towards the viewer, holding a light-colored object in his right hand. Behind him, within the confines of the partially built structure, another individual is visible in a prone or crouched position, wearing dark clothing, facing away from the viewer near the base of a wooden roof truss. Behind the construction, residential or commercial buildings with light-colored pitched roofs are visible, one featuring a light blue exterior wall.
