People Market tells the story of resilience among market women who continue their daily trade despite the harsh conditions of the harmattan season. The scene captures a blurred marketplace, reflecting the dusty haze that fills the air during this period. The cold, dry weather leaves visible marks — pale legs, chapped lips, and discomfort — yet, the women remain present, focused, and determined. Through this piece, I highlight the strength and perseverance of these women, who push through environmental challenges to sustain their livelihoods. It is a tribute to their endurance, showing that even in the face of discomfort and unfavorable conditions, work continues and life moves forward.
