A photograph of a construction site in dry, reddish-brown earth between red-painted walls and unfinished grey cinder-block walls. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers, wearing a small cloth cap, kneels and works with a cutting tool or mixing equipment beside a red brick and a water bottle. Coiled white hose, loose bricks, pipes and rubble lie on the ground, and a yellow wooden door is set into the red wall at left. Sunlight casts shadows across the scene. No deity, ritual or ceremony is visible.
