The image depicts a waterside scene in Iwaya, Nigeria. In the midground, a young, shirtless male child, approximately 4-7 years old, stands in dark water up to his lower chest, holding onto the weathered wooden hull of a boat with his right hand. This boat contains folded blue and yellow fabric. To its left, another wooden boat with a visible "YAMAHA" outboard motor is docked. A large, dark-hulled wooden boat with a yellow trim is partially visible to the child's right. The water surface exhibits ripples. In the background, a dense cluster of rudimentary structures, including shacks and various buildings constructed from wood, corrugated metal, and fabric, line the distant shoreline. Numerous other wooden boats are scattered throughout the background. The foreground on the right shows a partial view of what appears to be striped fabric (green, orange, black), possibly a person's attire or a boat element. The sky is overcast or hazy.
