This image depicts an active outdoor market in Akwanga, Nigeria, under bright daylight conditions. A young individual, wearing a black and white horizontal striped sleeveless shirt, a blue knee-length skirt, and light-colored slip-on sandals, walks forward. They are balancing a dark, likely plastic, basin on their head, supported by both hands raised upwards. The ground consists of reddish-brown compacted earth, where distinct shadows are cast by the primary subject. To the right of the foreground, market goods are displayed directly on the ground or on a white cloth, including piles of red tomatoes, numerous small red chili peppers, and clumps of purple onions. A small black bowl containing red peppers is also visible. In the midground, a person wearing a multi-colored patterned dress is bending over, attending to goods beneath a large dark market umbrella. Further into the background, additional market stalls with awnings, other individuals, and multi-story buildings are present, indicating a bustling commercial environment.
