In Barakin Akawo, Nigeria, a young woman in a sequined red strapless dress with fringe detailing sits on a white stool. She looks down, her hands resting on her lap. Beside her, a toddler in a red dress and black shoes gazes up at the woman, reaching out a hand towards her. The scene is set against a plain, light-colored backdrop, likely a studio. A hand and arm, adorned with a beaded bracelet, are visible in the foreground, suggesting someone is taking the photograph.
