The corn seller stands by the roadside, turning each cob with practiced hands, her face lit by the glow of the embers. Every customer brings a brief exchange, a smile, a story, a shared moment of warmth. Working Hands — The Corn Seller captures the rhythm of survival woven into Nigeria’s everyday life.
