The image depicts an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, characterized by makeshift structures bordering a wide, murky water channel. A young Black child, appearing pre-teen, walks from right to left across a narrow, elevated causeway of soil, rocks, and refuse that bisects the channel. The child wears a distressed yellow hooded sweatshirt with visible rips on the right sleeve and hem, ripped blue jeans, and brown open-toed sandals. Their head is lowered, focusing on their footing on the precarious path. On the far bank of the channel, multiple improvised structures resembling market stalls are visible. One on the left displays clothing items hanging for sale; another to the right, a small shop, shows various goods and contains a partially visible seated individual behind a counter. The ground immediately surrounding these structures is muddy and uneven. Lush green trees are present in the background above the settlement. The foreground features a concrete edge, indicating the viewer's slightly elevated position overlooking the scene.
