In Udu, Nigeria, a vertical photograph captures a human hand holding a cluster of plant leaves against a solid black background. The hand, exhibiting a dark skin tone, is positioned on the left, gripping the base of the plant material. The visible leaves are primarily green with pronounced serrated margins; multiple leaves display areas of yellow and light green variegation or discoloration. Small, dried stem fragments are present at the center of the leaf cluster. The subjects are illuminated by a localized light source, contrasting sharply with the featureless dark environment.
