A young man squats on a paved surface outdoors, polishing a black sandal. He wears a white t-shirt and dark pants, with a white cloth under him. A blue plastic basket beside him contains shoe polish, applicators, and other supplies. Nearby are several pairs of sandals. In the background, there is a busy public space with people, fences, and vendor stalls. A flag flutters in the distance. The sky is blue with scattered clouds.
