The image depicts a cluttered urban alleyway or street in Onitsha, Nigeria, characterized by informal structures and extensive refuse. In the immediate foreground, out of focus, is the head and right shoulder of an individual with dark skin and braided hair, wearing a red garment patterned with green and yellow motifs. A small, light-colored earring is visible on their right earlobe. The mid-ground features a rudimentary structure, likely a market stall or shop, with a corrugated metal roof overhang. The structure has open, double red metal doors. A heavily rusted and dented metal barrel, possibly a 55-gallon drum, rests on a crude, dark metal stand directly in front of the open doors. To the left of this structure, several weathered and rusted corrugated metal sheets lean against a light-colored, possibly concrete or mud brick, wall. Black plastic bags are hanging or resting near this wall. The ground is unpaved dirt, heavily covered with an accumulation of various waste materials. Prominent among these are several large, coarse woven sacks filled with unspecified contents; one grey sack with a green band is centrally located. Other materials include white and clear plastic sheeting, crumpled dark fabric, and general debris. To the right of the red-doored structure, concrete steps lead up to its entrance. Further down the alley, more informal structures and additional refuse, including bright yellow, red, and blue plastic materials, are visible. Overhead lines are faintly discernible in the distance. The scene is illuminated by ambient daylight.
