A worker in a checked teal-and-white head wrap and a yellow-and-white plaid shirt crouches in a small concrete corner, working with a trowel on a freshly laid grey-pink floor surface against a plain grey wall. A rounded mortar lump and a metal tool sit at the lower edge of the frame. The wall edge is lined with a reddish-brown strip. The scene shows building construction work, with no visible ritual or ceremonial elements.
