The image depicts a bustling open-air market street in Orifite, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. In the immediate foreground, a market stall surface covered with light-colored fabric displays various goods. A large mound of small, brown, lumpy items (possibly nuts or root vegetables) occupies the center. To its left, a woven basket holds smaller, colorful wrapped objects. To the right, a silver metal tray contains a pile of fresh green leafy vegetables. A red metal can is partially visible behind the brown items. The central figure is a young boy, approximately 8-12 years old, with short dark hair, wearing a grey polo shirt with a blue collar and light-colored camouflage shorts. He has a yellow wristband on his right wrist and a faint mark on his left cheekbone. He stands on an unpaved, dirt ground, looking directly towards the viewer with a neutral expression. Behind the boy, the market extends into the midground. To the left, a stall constructed with a light blue canopy and corrugated metal panels features several stacked blue plastic barrels. A woman in a red shirt is seated behind a display of ripe red tomatoes piled on a table, with other produce nearby. Another person, possibly a child in a pink dress, is crouched near this stall. In the midground-right, a young woman in a blue shirt is partially visible, appearing to engage with items on a stall. Further back, another individual walks away from the camera, carrying a large bundle of dark, flexible material, possibly hoses or cables, over their shoulder. The background reveals a dense urban environment. On the far left, a multi-story building with a light tan/yellow facade and dark balconies is visible. Adjacent to and extending across the scene are numerous makeshift market structures, primarily constructed from corrugated metal sheets, wood, and tarpaulins, appearing weathered and densely packed. On the distant right, another multi-story building with a red roof is partially visible. The ground throughout the market area is unpaved, appearing as compacted dirt or sand.
