A single adult male is seated outdoors on prominent, exposed tree roots, positioned in the foreground of the image. The man has dark skin, short dark hair, and a beard, and is looking directly at the camera with a slight smile. He is wearing a white sleeveless undershirt, which is pulled up to reveal his midriff, and green shorts; he is barefoot. His right arm is bent with his hand resting on his right knee, while his left arm is extended behind him, hand resting on the roots. The immediate environment consists of dry, reddish-brown earth and numerous gnarled, thick tree roots that form natural seating. A large tree, from which these roots emerge, dominates the right side of the frame and extends into the upper background, providing a canopy of green leaves. Another mature tree is visible in the background to the left. In the mid-ground and background, several single-story buildings are visible. These structures appear to be constructed from light-colored blocks or unpainted render, with one building on the far left having visible windows and a corrugated metal roof. Another building to the right of the background features a dark-colored, possibly metal, door or gate. The scene suggests a semi-urban or residential outdoor setting within the city of Akwanga, Nigeria.
