The scene depicts an outdoor cooking operation in Barakin Lerawi, Nigeria. A single individual, positioned with their back mostly to the viewer, is seated on a low, dark wooden stool on reddish-brown dirt ground. The person wears a green and black patterned beanie, a bright yellow t-shirt with black text on the back ("UPRO..."), and a multi-colored patterned skirt or wrapper. Their right arm holds a long wooden spoon, actively stirring a simmering, light-colored stew or soup in a large silver metal pot with two handles. The stew contains visible green leafy vegetables and orange carrot pieces. This pot rests on a black metal cooking stand. To the person's left, a dark wooden mortar is on the ground, next to a small white paper or package held in their left hand. Surrounding the central figure and cooking area are several other silver metal pots with lids, some on the ground, one stacked. A dark green plastic bowl containing green leafy vegetables is visible. In the background, behind the cooking area, there is an accumulation of refuse including plastic containers, bags, and papers scattered across dry ground with sparse vegetation, bordering a corrugated metal sheet structure on the right. Further back, dry branches and some green foliage are visible.
